mallumo

mallumo

e2e encryption in weechat using libsodium.

Dependencies

• python-3.8 or newer.
• pynacl

N.B. I have only tested this on python3.10, but it should work with others too.

Installation

First clone the repo and symlink the python module into your weechat autoload directory:

$ cd .local/share/weechat/python/
$ git clone https://github.com/darkrenaissance/mallumo
$ ln -s $(realpath mallumo/mallumo/__init__.py) ~/.weechat/python/autoload/mallumo.py

With this method, you can receive updates seamlessly, just by issuing git pull.

Usage

In weechat:

/help mallumo

[python/mallumo]  /mallumo  gen
                            kex
                            reset
                            status
                            enable
                            disable


E2E encryption for private IRC messages

Quick start:

Add an E2E item to the status bar by adding '[mallumo]' to the config setting
weechat.bar.status.items. This will show if your current chat is encrypted.

Usage:
/mallumo gen          [ generate a new keypair ]
/mallumo kex          [ initiate an e2e encrypted session ]
/mallumo reset [-f]   [ unset the public key associated to the current buffer ]
/mallumo status       [ show and possibly initialize a session ]
/mallumo disable      [ disable encryption for current buffer ]
/mallumo enable       [ enable encryption for current buffer ]

Before exiting, do run /save in order to make sure keep any pubkeys you have exchanged.
