##CpE 490 Project Original Source: https://www.blubgoo.com/chatroom-in-c/
Add nonsense client side encryption for project. Client must enter password on entering to get non garbled text - encrypt/decrypt only happens on client side. Must check for command args client side as server will not have the ability to decrypt.
Use "openssl s_client -connect :5000" to connect. If connecting to and from a linux lab account, you can just use the server name (eva:5000, avatar:5000, etc).
For JavaScript client, verified cert/key pair must be use. I have those generated from https://letsencrypt.org/ for cpe490.dylanpraul.com. Email me for the cert/key pair, then set hosts file to forward cpe490.dylanpraul.com to 127.0.0.1
Works in Chrome only. Go to More tools --> Extentions --> Check "Developer mode" --> Click "Load unpacked extension..." --> Navigate to /client/ folder, then click "Launch"
##Chat-Server Simple chatroom in C unsing SSL to tunnel the connection between client and server. The repository is a fork of the original Chat Server repository. Due to the many requests for a secure version of he chat server I've decided to fork the project into a new repository. This project demonstrates the basic use of sockets and SSL. There is currently no client available but any telnet client will do. However I have planned a SSL client as well for the future. For now, just connect to the server on the specified port and address. By default port 5000 is used. The project was intended to run on Linux and Unix based systems. However with minor changes you'd be able to run it on Windows as well.
