PMCrypt - Private Message Encryption
![]() Developer Last Online: Feb 2012 ![]() ![]() ![]() This modification is in the archives.
Keywords: Private, Message, PM, Encrypt, Encode, Security
Description: Encrypts Private Messages within the MySQL database. Allows for on-the-fly decryption without the need for a shared key. Details: This hack will encrypt sent messages within your MySQL database. No longer will they be viewable in plaintext, thus affording your members a little more security with their private correspondance. Please be aware that this is not a total security solution. This was devised with simplicity as well as security in mind -- such as that the encryption method used is NOT to be assumed "unbreakable" by any stretch of the imagination. The messages are encrypted using a method developed and credited to AITOR SOLOZABAL MERIN by where text is encrypted/decrypted using a simple but powerful XOR method without a known key. Implicitly, the key is defined by the string itself in a character by character way. There are 4 items to compose the unknown key for the character in the algorithim:
This product was developed by request of FGENETICS and DOOGIE88. Installation: 1. Download and import the product-pmcrypt1.1.0.xml file via the Product Manager. 2. Enable the product via the AdminCP (vBulletin Options > Private Message Encryption) 3. ??? 4. Profit Version History: v1.0.0 - Initial Release v1.0.1 - Fixed bug when replying to an encrypted message. v1.1.0 - Fixed issue with reply and preview. Encapsulated encryption within base64_encode(); for storage. Smilies no longer run risk of breaking encryption. * Once enabled, all PM's sent thereafter will be encrypted. This means that should you choose to disable and/or uninstall the product, said PM's will remain encrypted -- rendering them unreadable. * Please note that this modification was developed on a forum with a userbase of 1 (myself). I've tested it for basic functionality but I cannot guarantee functionality or behavior on your forum. So, please -- make backups before installing this product!

Thank you very much.
One question though, is there anything that will notify me if it worked or not? Because I enabled it, the Admin CP options are there, but I tested with a message, and it is just like a normal message. Thanks. ** okay it seems to be working, because when you 'reply' you see the encrypted message. However, the one downfall is when you reply, and the original sender gets the original message back, after the receiver read it, the original quoted message is encrypted. Anyway to fix that?

Ok, updated. Fixed the reply bug, however I did run into an issue with smilies during replies. You may want to check the "disable smilies" when replying for the time being, I'll devise a fix for that tomorrow.

What do I need to do to upgrade it? Uninstall it and re-install?

You can just install the new version over the old one, just select "Allow Overwrite" on the Product Import page.

Very buggy, having a lot of problems with it.
Most messages aren't being decrypted. No members have liked this post.

If you encrypted messages with 1.0, uninstalled, then installed 1.1 -- that would happen. By uninstalling you remove the added 'encrypt' row to the 'pmtext' table. When you re-install, the 'encrypt' row is added but without the correct integer for the previously encrypted messages. So when viewing those earlier encrypted messages, the decryption engine doesn't know to decrypt them.
I've installed, upgraded, uninstalled, reinstalled, reupgraded, etc.. about a dozen times, and each time the encryption/decryption works fine. The only problem, that I'm aware of currently, is occasionally the encryption text will contain a smiley bbcode (ie. ![]() So, until that bug is fixed I would recommend checking "Disable smilies" when sending PM's. Also, keep in mind that this is still Beta, as noted in the original post. Once I get into my office this morning, I'll go through the code. It was late last night, so God knows.
