Logging with OTR (Off-the-Record Messaging) and XMPP

Project description

This is a Python library for logging to XMPP destinations using OTR (Off-the-Record Messaging) encryption.

Features

  • OTRv2

  • Pure python (no libotr dependency)

  • Log to multiple destinations

  • Optionally check log destinations’ OTR fingerprints

Installation

$ sudo pip install –pre xmpppy # xmpppy is tagged as an “rc” version $ sudo pip install otrxmpplogger

Example

from otrxmpplogger import OTRXMPPLogger
import logging
import time
log = logging.getLogger()
privkey = open('.otrprivkey', 'r').read()
handler = OTRXMPPLogger(
    'bradass87@jabber.ccc.de/datadiode',
    'supersecret',
    [
        (
            'mendax@jabber.wikileaks.org',
            '33eb6b01c97ceba92bd6b5e3777189c43f8d6f03'
        ),
        'esnowden@chat.nsa.gov'
    ],
    privkey
)

log.addHandler(handler)
log.debug('setting up OTR')  # Trigger OTR setup
time.sleep(3)  # Give OTR a little while to go active
log.critical('@6 is a rat!')

Notes

  • XMPP invitations are not handled

  • It seems to take roughly 3 seconds to set up an OTR session. Messages logged before the session is ready may be lost.
