PM Encryption - Encrypt all your PMS!

PM Encryption v 1.0.0

As requested by Sully02, here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...780#post636780
This nifty little hack encrypts your user's (and your), PMs when sent, and unencrypts them when they are read :)!
It also supports the downloading of the PMS, all PMs downloaded will be unencrypted.

Creator: Deaths
Live Demo: Theres nothing to see.
Screenshots: Nothing to see.
Support is in this thread, and preferably at vBadditions.com

I have included an Installer, which will encrypt all previously sent PMs!

Tested on 3.0.7, should work with all 3.0.x's.

Dont underestimate this hack though, its not a mini-mod ;).

Follow the instructions in the install file, and everything should go just fine :).

Todo list:

Your suggestions.

There is no hack attached.

Lol, you're very fast ^^.

I still needed to get the threadid, for the "Click Install" link in the file ;)

Hi - what is the use in this hack? I can only think.. to stop admins using the "Read Your Users PMs" hack, or people with access to the database reading people PMs.

But it uses Base64. This is not encryption. It is encoding - ANYONE can decrypt base64 things - base64_decode(message) in php, $base64(message.txt) in mIRC.

This was requested by a member, so I created it.

And if you dont know this is base64, you can't decode it ;)

maybe... just prevent lamers admin to read pms ;)

Nice idea this hack, you can increase protection using your algo to crypt and to decrypt messages (instead using base64).

like

Code:

function cryptalgo($message) {

 // blah blah

 return $cryptedmessage

}

and..

Code:

 function decryptalgo($cryptedmessage) {

  // halb halb

  return $message

 }

etc..

I was thinki9ng about this myself, It would be better off to use mycrypt providing it is installed with your php.

Hmm, good idea.

I'll look into that, together with some other suggestions.

Anybody can decode it. This will not protect private message from being read. The only way you could protect private messages would be to first exchange a private key, then use that to encrypt your PM's with someone.
