GhostShare

Zero-Knowledge, Client-Side Encrypted Ephemeral Storage & Steganography Engine

GhostShare is a privacy-focused web application designed for sharing sensitive data, notes, and secrets without leaving a trace. Built with native Web Crypto APIs and zero external dependencies.

Interface Overview

Key Highlights

• End-to-End Client Encryption: Plaintext never leaves the browser. Encrypted via AES-GCM 256-bit.
• Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Decryption keys are embedded strictly in the URL hash (#key=...). The server never sees or logs your keys.
• One-Time Self-Destruct: Payloads are instantly deleted from server memory upon the first read request.
• Pixel Steganography: Built-in LSB (Least Significant Bit) engine to conceal encrypted payloads inside image pixels.
• Zero-Dependency Native Server: Extremely lightweight Node.js HTTP core running without third-party packages.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Node.js 18+ installed on your system

Running Locally

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ogurchick411/ghostshare.git cd ghostshare

2. Start the server: npm start

3. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

Tech Stack & Architecture

• Frontend: Vanilla JS (ES Modules), HTML5 Canvas, Modern CSS Grid/Variables.
• Cryptography: Native window.crypto.subtle (AES-GCM, Raw Key Import/Export, LSB Steganography).
• Backend: Native Node.js http module with in-memory TTL map state.

Security Model

[ Browser / Client ]                         [ Server Node.js ]
1. Generates AES-256 Key                     
2. Encrypts Payload locally                 
3. Sends Ciphertext only -------------------> Stores in Memory (Map)
4. Key appended to URL Hash (#key)           
                                             Reads & Immediately 
5. Receiver decrypts via Hash Key <---------- Deletes from Memory
