GnuPG (GPG) based messenger client that implements the openPGP encryption standard while using Facebook Messenger or an equivalent messaging platform as a backend. Very similar to Pidgin or Adium.
Implemented using Python 3.7.
Libraries used: Check the Pipfile!
From the app:
From Facebook Messenger:
-
Run
pipenv installin the directory which you downloaded this respository (henceforth known as the "root" path). -
Two options - either create and gpg-encrypt a text file that contains your facebook password with:
$ echo "FACEBOOK_PASSWORD" | gpg --armor -r "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY" -e > FILENAME
OR just type in your password when prompted later (won't be encrypted - not recommended)
-
Create an empty file called config.json with the path /accounts/facebook/config.json relative to root.
-
Navigate to the root directory and run
pipenv run python messenger.py edit facebookand follow the prompts. -
Finally, launch the app with
$ pipenv run python3 app.py
