FiSHLiM

FiSHLiM is an XChat plugin for FiSH IRC encryption. It's my attempt at making a simple, lightweight and secure plugin for this encryption protocol. For more info, please visit the FiSHLiM website.

For installation instructions, see the INSTALL file in the sources.

Features

Working:

• Sending/receiving messages
• Topic decryption
• Using unecrypted keys / keys without a password from blow.ini
• Pure protocol-level filtering (works with highlighting, nick coloring etc)
• Partially encrypted messages (i.e. prefixed with nickname by a bouncer)

Not working:

• Key exchange
• Password-protected key storage
• Topic encryption
• Remote exploitation (hopefully!)
• Plaintext content that contain +OK is decrypted twice

Commands

Keys are stored in the configuration file in ~/.config/hexchat/addon_fishlim.txt. To set the encryption key for the nick or channel to password:

/setkey  [nick or #channel]  password

To delete the given nick or channel from the configuration file:

/delkey  nick-or-#channel
