Chastity Software

[dtspam]

I wrote a chastity software similare to time lock etc. My main motivation was, that time lock doesn't run on other operating systems than windows and that you have to pay for some of the features.
The idea of my software is, that you take a picture of a combination lock and the software keeps that picture encrypted for a certain amount of time.
It's possible to use random times. Furthermore a Dom (or a Webtease) can generate a code containing the time and give it to a sub.
The software requires a internet connection to get the time, and it won't show the time or release the combination without an internet connection, but it doesn't have to run the hole time.
The software (and source code) is available here: http://ananke.kenai.com/
I hope you'll like it. There is also a wiki were can describe new ideas for the software.

Sounds like a lot of work

Couple of question
My mistress would take the picture and then store it encoded on the web (is that correct)?

Not sure how that would work with a webtease wouldn't I see the code when I took the picture?

And finnally if it is a random time, Does it then tell me how much time there is?
Or do I have to then access the site on a daily basis hoping that, that day might be the one (which sounds more fun)

Oh wait, one ore question, If I was given 15 days but did not access until say day 17 (maybe my net was down)
Would I still be able to see the picture?

It's not a site, its a local software, but it uses time servers to obtain the time, otherwise you could just change your computer clock.
The idea is, that you take the picture without looking. Of cause you have to be willing to be locked up when you start, but that usually the case, at least for me.
The code only contains the time, so a webtease (or a mistress) can determine how long you have to be locked up. But you still have to take the picture your self. You may or may not see the time, that depends on the code. In fact the code contains 5 informations (not all are required):
- a password to unlock early
- a verification code shown to you, after you started the session.
- the time to be locked up
- a maximal time larger than the locking time. this time is shown before you start the session. no one wants to start a session, that may last indefinitly. this way you can decide, what's the maximum time you want to risk.
- how the time is displayed: normaly, hidden, teasing (cold, warm, hot, ...) or a torment mode showing a wrong time.

You don't have to start the program daily. Once the time is up, the program will reveal the picture when you start it again.

Technically the software is quite reliable. I use the time servers of the german federal institution for physics (free translation), so they should not fail. A problem is, that the information is stored on your own PC (but that's better than some unreliable webhosting service) and the programm doesn't have a option (yet) to backup the data somewhere else. So of cause you should have some kind of emergency release, like destroying the cb.

That is really cool, I am just trying to figure out how a person without a keyholder could use it. There is no way to set a combo without looking at it and that would sort of defeat the purpose :)

[dtspam]

Is that so difficult to get?
You change the combination of the lock without looking at it, that's easy.
Than you take a picture, without looking. That's a bit more tricky. But I can't read the numbers of the lock on the display of my digital camera, at least if I look at it with an angle.
Once you managed that, you load the foto onto your computer, delete it from the camara and then you can use my program to lock the picture away.

If the display of your camera is really sharp and you can't avoid reading the numbers, put a small peace of paper over the lock, position the camera, close your eyes and than take the picture.

Lock challenge can easily be fixed...

buy a bunch of code locks.... put numbers on them and set a code on each one..
lest say 5 locks with 4 digit code.

example

lock1 = 3496 and have code 5792
lock 2= XXXX XXXX
and so on

mail it to Your mistress or whatever use

delete all traces and after a week YOu have no chance remember codes and locks...

Hi,

or you use a lock like this: http://img215.imageshack.us/i/schlossxy9.jpg/

iam writing on a chastity and tease software too :) But more like cybermistress (cybermistress.org). If any one want more details ask me
So all ideas what you expecting from a software like that are welcome!

Best Regards

Haha... I'm sure that would be totally comfortable to wear. Kinda humiliating though. Imagine, the lock larger than the thing it's keeping locked up...

[Freakezoid]

you can use it to close a box with the real key....

I wrote a chastity software similare to time lock etc. My main motivation was, that time lock doesn't run on other operating systems than windows and that you have to pay for some of the features.

The cross-platform reason I can understand, but the price for the full-featured TimeLock is hardly outrageous.
Surely anyone who can afford a computer and an uplink can find 20 bucks.
Anyway, if you're doing a rework of timelock, why not add features?
One thing I find seriously flawed with TL is the jump in the random timing.
For those unfamiliar with it, you *can* set a random interval, but the way it works is that you set a max. time, and then the program picks a time between that and 50% of that time.
Meaning that if you want to have a max of a week, you might get released after only 3½ days.
Way too big a jump for my taste. Personally, I'd like to be able to set a max AND a minimum time.
Granted, you can set a specific time, but that takes the fun of uncertainty out of it.
Besides which, I mainly use TL for self-bondage scenarios, and thus I'd like a little more control over the intervals.

The idea of my software is, that you take a picture of a combination lock and the software keeps that picture encrypted for a certain amount of time.

Why only pics?
The greatest feature added to the latest version of TL is IMHO the random number generator, and the ability to encrypt text-files.
It bypasses the whole taking-picture-without-peeking problem.
Again, for those unfamiliar, TL can generate a text-file with up to 20 different 10-digit codes, and later encrypt that file.
What I do is that I have a bag of 10 numbered padlocks, code them according to the text-file, and then put them away for a week.
All you have to do then is use the lock by feel and spin the cylinders. Far easier to do without looking than taking a picture.

I'm not criticizing, just saying that if you're reworking the code in the first place, you might as well improve on it.

The cross-platform feature was the main reason, I don't use windows myself, and I didn't want to have a VM running all the time just for time lock. The 20 bucks weren't really the issue, I just like free software.
I plan on adding new features and I allready did so. The feature you wanted is allready included. You can set a minimal duration and a duration that is added randomly on top.
I also changed a bit how the codes work. TL doesn't allow you to set the maximal time the user sees before he accepts the session but does calculates that time in some way.
The software doesn't accually care, what type of data you encrypt. Just choose some file. I consider to add the possibility to generate random numbers, that's not really a complicated thing to implement.
A feature I also added is the possibility to run more than one session at once.

No argument here.

AHA!
Now we're talking
This I'll have to take a closer look at. Just out of curiousity, the encryption.....
Is it a copy of the TL version that 'removes' the file, or does it simply scramble the file contents?
Doesn't really matter one way or the other, I'm just curious.

And final question, does it have a 'wimp-out' button in case things get out of hand?

And yes, I realize I could just download the damn thing and find out myself, I'm just a little pressed for time these days so it'll be a while before I can play around with it.

The file is deleted, the data is stored in an hidden file in the same directory. Hidden means renamed to .something, thus its hidden on Unix, Linux, MacOSX but probably not on Windows.
It doesn't have a "wimp-out" button, how would such a button work? There would have to be some punishement triggered by it.
You may set a password to finishthe session early, but it doesn't really make sense to set the passwort yourself.
I head three usage scenarios in mind:
- Locking up yourself
- Getting locked up by a mistress that doesn't want to take the time to manage the combinations for the locks herself. Could be the case, if a mistress deals with a lot of slaves at once. Probably a rare scenario.
- Including chastity time in webteases: The Webtease provides a code, you have to ente the verification code into the webtease, and it may supply a password, if you completed some task, answered some questions, whatever.
I'll be happy to here succestions for other scenarios.

It looks good but is a little more confusing than Timelock and I think you can get around that by adding either help icons/buttons next to certain or all fields and including some help files within it. Until you add in help files I would change the help button at the top to be About so it's less frustrating for people when they see help isn't actually an option available. Maybe frustrating isn't really the correct word to use?!

It works on the Mac though which is one up from Timelock in that sense.

I also think that via the "Add" option the times should be set as min and max maybe, rather than duration and random additional duration as min and max is a lot more clearer.

I will play around with it a little more over the next couple of days to see if I can see anything else.

Good job, sir. Open source is great.

I do agree the interface is confusing.
