netpaste

netpaste

netpaste is a simple paste bin that allows clients to post pastes over netcat.

• built in Golang 1.6 (i.e. the server is cross-platform)
• supports both UNIX and Windows line endings
• example usage: echo hello | nc <domain> <port>

Installation

Download the files.

git clone https://github.com/petercunha/netpaste master

Change dirs into master

cd master/

Open up main.go and enter your desired connection settings.

func main() {
	// Specify the host and port you'd like to listen on
	listen("localhost", "3333")
}

Now, let's build it.

go build

Ok. Good job. Now, lets make a paste directory in /var/www/html/

mkdir /var/www/html/paste
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/paste/

Nice! Almost done. Open up /etc/apache2/apache.conf and add this

<Directory /var/www/html/paste>
	DirectoryIndex index.txt
</Directory>

Run the server

Everythings set up and configured correctly. Now you can run it by doing

sudo ./master

Test the server

On the same machine, open up a terminal and do

echo Hello world! | nc localhost <port>

In response you should get

http://localhost/paste/XXXXXXXX/

Go there in your browser and you should see Hello world!
