[3.8.x]

PMCrypt - Private Message Encryption

Источник

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:
The ascii code of every character of the string itself
The position in the string of the character to encrypt
The length of the string that include the character
Any special formula added by the programmer to the algorithm to calculate the key to use
This product does not explicitly rely on any vBulletin functions, thus there should not be any problems with future upgrades, etc.

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!

Хак писался еще для 3.6.x, в аттаче есть пофиксенная под 3.8.x версия.
Бонус - файл для расшифровки таблицы PM, например для апдейта форума на 4.x.x, предварительно в файл необходимо вписать данные для доступа к базе.

PHP Code:

////////////CONFIGURATION////////////
////////Replace text between ''//////
//    ****** SERVER NAME ******
$config['servername'] = 'localhost';
//    ****** USERNAME ******
$config['username'] = 'enter username';
//    ****** USER PASSWORD ******
$config['password'] = 'enter password';
//    ****** DATABASE NAME ******
$config['dbname'] = 'enter dbname';

Очень интересный хак, а русская альтернатива есть?

Для одной опции в админке?
Тут и гугл поможет

Разумеется.

Я сейчас поразмыслил и понял что толку от хака НОЛЬ, правильно я думаю?
Исходя из того что кодировку можно узнать и также это сообщение перекодировать в исходный текст не займет труда, правильно же?
