Encryption and security
- Clients can only establish encrypted connections.
- External XMPP servers can only communicate with trashserver.net via secure connections. Unencrypted or otherwise insecure connections are not possible. This includes server-to-server connections with:
- Expired certificates
- Incorrectly configured TLS
- Certificates from non-recognized CAs
Self signed certificates are not accepted for practical reasons, because the server must be able to determine the validity of foreign certificates immediately (!) and on its own(!).
- Passwords are hashed and stored in the database. By default, the authentication method SCRAM-SHA-1 is used.
- The DNS entries for trashserver.net are DNSSEC signed and can be verified by compatible clients.
- The outdated encryption protocols SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 cannot be used to connect to the server.
Alternative connections: BOSH / Websocket / Tor Onion Service / XMPP over TLS
| Service | URL / Host | Port |
|---|---|---|
| BOSH | https://xmpp.trashserver.net/bosh |
443 |
| Websocket | wss://xmpp.trashserver.net/ws |
443 |
| Tor Onion Link (v3) | xiynxwxxpw7olq76uhrbvx2ts3i7jagqnqix7arfbknmleuoiwsmt5yd.onion |
5222 |
| XMPP over TLS | xmpp-camo.trashserver.net |
443 |
Note: It is not possible (and also not necessary) to offer a valid TLS certificate for the.onion address. Since access via.onion is already sufficiently secured, a check of the offered TLS certificate can be omitted. However, this does not apply to access via TOR and trashserver.net address (without.onion link) The http_upload module also works with the normal DNS and classic connections to the Internet when using the.onion address. A “normal” Internet connection must therefore be possible in parallel for its function.
