IncognitoBin is a modern, fast, and scalable pastebin alternative with a strong emphasis on security and privacy. Built with a Rust backend, React frontend, ScyllaDB, Redis, and AES-256 encryption, it offers a seamless, privacy-focused experience. All data is encrypted client-side, ensuring zero-server knowledge, while users can create accounts anonymously.

• 🛡️ End-to-End Encryption with AES-256: Data is encrypted client-side using AES-256, a robust encryption standard, ensuring that only the user can access their information. The server remains unaware of the data's content (zero-server knowledge).
• 🎭 Anonymous Account System: Users are assigned a unique account number upon sign-up, which they use for logging in, maintaining full anonymity and avoiding the need for personal information.
• 🔐 Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Since all data is encrypted on the client side, even IncognitoBin administrators or the project owner cannot view stored data.
• 🖍️ Syntax Highlighting: IncognitoBin supports syntax highlighting for most programming languages, making code snippets easy to read and visually appealing.
• ⚡ Scalable Infrastructure: IncognitoBin leverages Rust, ScyllaDB, and Redis, ensuring it can handle high traffic and maintain low latency.
• 🌟 Open Source: As an open-source project, IncognitoBin encourages transparency and community involvement in development.
• ⏳ Automatic Paste Expiry: Set custom expiration times for your pastes, after which they are permanently deleted from the system.
• 🔍 Private Search: Search through your own pastes without compromising privacy.

• Docker
• Docker Compose

1. Download the Docker Compose file:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IncognitoBin/IncognitoBin/refs/heads/master/docker-compose.yml

2. Start all the services:

docker compose up -d

Wait approximately 30 seconds for the services to initialize.

3. Access IncognitoBin: Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8008

IncognitoBin uses a zero-knowledge architecture: all data is encrypted in the browser using AES-256 before it is sent to the server. Because encryption occurs on the client side, only the user with the correct decryption key (stored locally) can access the content. This design ensures:

• 🔒 Complete Data Privacy: No plaintext data is ever transmitted or stored, making it unreadable by anyone without the user's key.
• 👁️‍🗨️ No Access for Administrators: Not even the IncognitoBin owner or administrators can view or access user data.
• 🗝️ Secure Key Management: Encryption keys never leave your device and are not stored on our servers.
• 🔄 Forward Secrecy: Each paste uses a unique encryption key, limiting potential exposure.
• 🚫 No Tracking or Analytics: We don't use any analytics or tracking tools that could compromise privacy.

In the event of a data breach, only encrypted data would be exposed, and without the decryption key, it would remain unreadable.
