This is an online version of mat2. Keep in mind that this is a beta version, don't rely on it for anything serious, yet.

Demo instance

There is a demo instance deployed a mat2-web.dustri.org. Please don't upload any sensitive files on it.

How to deploy it?

Since mat2 isn't available in debian stable yet, you might want to add this to /etc/apt/preferences.d/ to be able to install mat2 via apt.

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 10

Then:

# apt install git nginx-light uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3 mat2 --no-install-recommends
# cd /var/www/
# git clone https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2-web.git
# mkdir ./mat2-web/uploads/
# chown -R www-data:www-data ./mat2-web

Since uwsgi isn't fun to configure, feel free to slap this into your /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/mat2-web.ini:

[uwsgi]
module=main
chdir = /var/www/mat2-web/
callable = app
wsgi-file = main.py
master = true
workers = 1

uid = www-data
gid = www-data

# kill stalled processes
harakiri = 30
die-on-term = true

socket = mat2-web.sock
chmod-socket = 774
plugins = python3

and this into your /etc/nginx/site-enabled/mat2-web:

location / { try_files $uri @yourapplication; }
location @yourapplication {
	include uwsgi_params;
	uwsgi_pass unix:/var/www/mat2-web/mat2-web.sock;
}

Nginx is the recommended web engine, but you can also use Apache if you prefer:

apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-proxy-uwsgi

and add this to your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mat2-web in the virtualhost block:

ProxyPass / unix:/var/www/mat2-web/mat2-web.sock|uwsgi://localhost/

Finally, restart uwsgi and your web server:

systemctl restart uwsgi
systemctl restart nginx/apache/…

It should now be working.

Threat model

  • An attacker in possession of the very same file that a user wants to clean, along with its names, can perform a denial of service by continually requesting this file, and getting it before the user.
  • An attacker in possession of only the name of a file that a user wants to clean can't perform a denial of service attack, since the path to download the cleaned file is not only dependant of the name, but also the content.
  • The server should do its very best to delete files as soon as possible.
