Ghostbin – lightweight, but unmaintained
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/06
A while ago, I saw a [Wayback/Archive.is] Ghostbin url, a Pastebin type of text storage site, so I got curious.
It seems the code (mostly Go and JavaScript) is on GitHub, but unmaintained software for years.
Here are some URLs I found:
- [Archive.is/Archive.is] Ghostbin
- [Wayback/Archive.is] DHowett/spectre:
https://ghostbin.com(the project got renamed from ghostbin into spectre) - [Wayback/Archive.is] Ghostbin at
pst.klgrth.ioseems more up to date with the source code as it has an active about page: [Wayback/Archive.is] About – Ghostbin - The same about information is at [Wayback/Archive.is] What is ghostbin? – Quora
I got there via [Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Using ML^wSQL to make Twitch a safe space. … Technology prevails!… “ who pointed to [Wayback/Archive.is] Ghostbin (part of a SQL script that tries to make Twitch a “safe” place). That was a follow-up on [Wayback/Archive.is] Reddit: Over 120GB of Twitch website data has been leaked online (source code, encrypted passwords, streamer payouts, etc.) : Twitch
Oh, I also learned about other open source paste systems: ZeroBin is unmaintained software as well ([Wayback/Archive.is] since mid 2016), but got forked into PrivateBin.

PrivateBin is a minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data.Data is encrypted and decrypted in the browser using 256bit AES in Galois Counter mode.This is a fork of ZeroBin, originally developed by Sébastien Sauvage. ZeroBin was refactored to allow easier and cleaner extensions. PrivateBin has many more features than the original ZeroBin. It is, however, still fully compatible to the original ZeroBin 0.19 data storage scheme. Therefore, such installations can be upgraded to PrivateBin without losing any data. - [Wayback/Archive.is] PrivateBin/INSTALL.md at master · PrivateBin/PrivateBin
