Guys,

A while ago I let on I was working on an OTR encryption plug-in script for Messenger Plus, and then I got kinda busy and couldn't finish it.

Anyhow, I restarted work on it last weekend and I've got something usable and functional right now, but it needs a little more TLC before it's really ready to be let out properly.

So, what would be awesome is if anyone wants to test it. Ideally they'd understand OTR and how it works a bit, and use it sometimes. I've been testing this using a second account with Pidgin + the OTR plugin. If you could set this up, you're ideal for testing.

I've tested against both Miranda and Pidgin, and both seem to happily talk to me. You're welcome to try against other clients, but YMMV.

Known Issues:
Sometimes has trouble re-establishing a secure session in the same chat session. Type /end to clear the session and try again
Only supports v1 of the protocol. Clients implementing v2 will inter-operate, but they'll warn you
The key-exchange messages are ugly
--------------------------------------

Let me have any bug reports/feedback in here. Ta.

Update: Now version 0.13

You mean a script?

Yep, a script.

Look good, tbh. I'll easy test it out for you.

OK. Its getting better so I've uploaded it to my web server [see first post for a link]. Its some way off inclusion in the scripts database yet, but with a little more work it could get there.

Happy testing!

I tried it with Adium and a friend using your script and I got the following messages.

We received a malformed data message from....

An encrypted message from .... could not be decrypted.


Whenever I sent an OTR message my friends CPU would goto 100% for 30 seconds.

Interesting. I did all my development testing against Pidgin, and since your comment I've just tested against Miranda too and that works fine. I can't test against Adium as I have to boot my Mac into Windows to use Messenger Plus.

Try closing and reopening your messenger window, that rekeys the session.

Your actions shouldn't affect your friend's CPU, I'm following the protocol quite accurately.

If you want I can make a web page for it

OK,

I've uploaded a new version which syncs better with the other clients I'm testing. I'm not really seeing the " We received an unreadable encrypted message from ... " messages unless I try and break it now.

If you like. I'm happy to keep it on here for now though.

Latest version is at the top.

PS. If anyone does get this working, it'd be cool if you let me know. I've not heard back from anyone about if it's worked yet or not!

Ima try it directly

Requires msgplus...
I don't think people without msgplus could actualy read that
Or theyd need to know they could change .plsc to .zip and some would need to know how to unzip it...
