It can be scheduled with cron to run daily. It is advisable# to use a long encryption password since everyone can download your # backup and try to bruteforce it. The encryption cipher used is approved# by the NSA for 'top secret'-classified documents, and should be# sufficient for personal use.## Usage:# 1. Configure the variables in the script# 2. Run the script with two arguments:# 1. the name of the file you want to upload (single file, use tar)# 2. the name of the posting you want to use in the usenet upload## Example:# ./newsUpload.sh photoAlbum.tgz username-photoAlbum## If the upload was succesfull (no errors, check logfile), your upload# should appear on sites like binsearch.net and nzbindex.nl after 20-30# minutes. You can then download/par/unrar the files with your normal news# download program and decrypt the files using the following command:## $ openssl enc -d -salt -in <filename>.enc -out <filename>## Dependencies:# - rar (tested with RAR 3.93)# - par2 (tested with par2cmdline 0.4)# - openssl (tested with OpenSSL 0.9.8o)# - newspost (tested with newspost 2.1.1,http://newspost.unixcab.org)## Variables used in the script:# TMPDIR - Temporary directory where the script can put the generated# rar and par files. This directory should have enough space for# the file to be uploaded + 10 % (par files)## LOGFILE - Path to a logfile, should be writable# # ENCPW - Password used for the OpenSSL encryption. Please use a very long# string as everyone can download your file and try to bruteforce## NEWSSERVER - Hostname or IP address of your newsserver## NEWSUSER - Optional - Username to be used with your newsserver## NEWSPASS - Optional - Password to be used with your newsserver## NEWSMAIL - Mail address used in the From: field for the Usenet postings## NEWSGROUP - Newsgroup to post to#
