SocksBin
=====
Command line pastebin for sharing files and command outputs.
# How to use
### Requirements
To use this, you'll need a tool called **netcat**. Try typing 'nc' or 'netcat' into the terminal, you probably have it already !
_________
### Client Side
* Self-Explanatory examples using the public server
```
echo "Hello World !" | nc magnum.wtf 6969
```
```
cat "script.sh" | nc magnum.wtf 6969
```
* In case you started the server on localhost
```
df | nc localhost 9999
```
____
You will receive a url to the text-only paste as a response to the above commands. e.g.
```
https://socksbin.magnum.wtf/33fdd867
```
This has a built-in Pygment-based beautifier. add "_color" to the end of the received url, to get a beautified paste.
```
https://socksbin.magnum.wtf/33fdd867_color
```
<sup>In case your text isn't beautified, include the *shebang* `#!` which is the first two bytes of an executable</sup>
<sup> e.g. the first line should be `#! /usr/bin/env python` for proper python formatting</sup>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Cool stuff
Make this much easier to use by adding an alias to your rc file. For example:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### `skb` alias
__Linux (Bash):__
```
echo 'alias skb="nc magnum.wtf 6969"' >> .bashrc
```
__macOS:__
```
echo 'alias skb="nc magnum.wtf 9999"' >> .bash_profile
```
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Copy output to clipboard
__Linux (Bash):__
```
echo 'alias tbc="netcat termbin.com 9999 | xclip -selection c"' >> .bashrc
```
```
echo less typing now! | tbc
```
__macOS:__
```
echo 'alias tbc="nc termbin.com 9999 | pbcopy"' >> .bash_profile
```
```
echo less typing now! | tbc
```
__Remember__ to reload the shell with `source ~/.bashrc` or `source ~/.bash_profile` after adding any of provided above!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

_____________________________________________
# Usage
```
usage: ./paster.py [-o output directory]
[-n listen_address] [-p port] [-s slug size]
[-l logfile] [-b buffer size][-h help]
```
These are command line arguments. None of these are required to run the server. Defaults are specified in the section below.
_____________________________________________
### Settings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#### Output directory `-o` `--output_directory`
Absolute, or relative path to the directory where the pastes will be stored, as plaintext files.
```
./paster.py -o ./pastes
```
```
./paster.py -o /home/www/pastes/
```
__Default value:__ `$HOME/socksbin`
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#### URL `-u` `--url`
This will be used as a prefix for an url received by the client.
Value will be prepended with `$url`.
```
./paster.py -u https://domain.com/
```
```
./paster.py -u https://subdomain.domain.com/
```
```
./paster.py -u https://subdomain.domain.com/pastes/
```
__Default value:__ `http://localhost/`
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#### Slug size `-s` `--slug_size`
This will force slugs to be of required length:
```
./paster.py -s 6
```
__Output url with default value__: `http://localhost/********`,
where * is a randomized character
__Output url with example value 6__: `http://localhost/******`,
where * is a randomized character
__Default value:__ 8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#### Buffer size `-b` `--buffer_size`
This parameter defines size of the buffer in bytes, when making a connection.
TCP has a max buffer size of 60K.
```
