# CrypChat

CrypChat is a distributed and end-to-end encrypted chat platform.

## Security

This is a project I whipped up for school in about four days, do not expect it to be actually secure.

## Configuring

Create a file named `config.json` with the following content in it (you may change the values):

Explanation of the configuration:

- `peerName`: This is the name of your client

- `host`: This is the IP where the WebSocket server should listen on

- `port`: This is the port where the WebSocket server should listen on

- `seedPeers`: These are all other peers the you want to recieve more peers from

```json

{

	"peerName": "Alice",

	"host": "0.0.0.0",

	"port": 8009,

	"seedPeers": ["ws://127.0.0.1:8010"]

}

```

## TODO

- [ ] PeerManager

  - [ ] Proxy sent messages to all other peers

- [ ] CryptoClient

  - [x] Generate IV

  - [ ] Use ECIES

- [ ] CLI

  - [ ] Send chat messages

  - [ ] Manually connect to peers

  - [ ] Disconnect peers

## Possible exploits

- MITM the handshake process

  - capture the public keys of both parties and "intercept-decrypt-dump-encrypt-send" the packets between the peers
