Esub with linux - possible?

Are there any programs for linux that can use esub, or something similar, to
encrypt/recognise a.a.m. messages, like jbn and qs do for windows?

Not that I'm aware of. On the QS site there's the original potatoware esub
plugin. It comes with source, if you're a stud you might be able to port it
to linux.

I asked the missus: she said, what with 5 minutes enthusiasm, then falling
asleep and no more interest for a fortnight, don't know who this linux bird is,
but wished her luck

But I'll give it a look; cheers.

if you don't mind using Sun Java:

http://aamfetch.sourceforge.net/

Otherwise take your favourite scripting language that supports IDEA
ancryption (/me thinks of PERL or Python) and code it yourself.

a) unhex the subject line (48 chars) -> you get 24 chars
b) initialize IDEA/CFB/NoPadding cipher
- use MD5(EncryptSubject) as key
("EncryptSubject" is the one you used in nym config)
- use first 8 chars of dehexed subject as initialization vector
c) decrypt last 16 chars with this cipher
d) if the result is the same as MD5(Subject) ("Subject" as used in
nym config), it is yours.
e) there is no need for encryption, since the remailer will encrypt it
for you. If you have a need for it, just do the same backwards (use
a random initialization vector).

HTH,

Hmmm; tried it with Windows, set up OK, but on trying to download messages got
Error occurred:java.io.IOEncryption:java.lang.NumberFormatException:For input
string: ""

Any ideas?

O_o. For some reason aamfetch expects your news server to return a
number, but it returns "". Could be my fault (to expect an optional
field to be present because my server always includes it) or some
corrupted database on the news server.

Hmm. If the bug is reproducable, run it again from a console (on
Windows, use the batch file). that should produce a backtrace with
line numbers. Please mail that to my e-mail address given in the
README or post it here.

If you don't know: by right clicking the titlebar (or maybe by
right-clicking into the console) you open a menu that allows you to
copy & paste text from the console.

Thank you.
