# i2pbox

**All [i2pd-tools](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-tools) in a single binary.**

The original i2pd-tools builds **14 separate binaries**. i2pbox merges them into one:

```
Before: 14 binaries, 14 compilations
After:  1 binary, 1 make, 14 subcommands
```

## I2P ecosystem positioning

i2pbox is an I2P **data-format toolkit**: it creates and inspects the
standard I2P data structures (keys, destinations, addresses, records) that
every router implementation speaks. Only `autoconf_i2pd` is i2pd-specific
(it generates an `i2pd.conf`); the other 13 commands interoperate with any
I2P implementation — i2pd (C++), i2p-java (Java), go-i2p (Go) and emissary
(Rust). CI cross-validates keygen/i2pbase64/keyinfo/routerinfo outputs
against those implementations (`make interop` locally, `interop` job in CI).
See [docs/INTEROP.md](docs/INTEROP.md) for the compatibility matrix and the
per-implementation private-key file formats.

### keygen

```
i2pbox keygen <output-file> [signature-type]
```

| Arg | Default | Description |

| `signature-type` | `7` (EdDSA) | `0`=DSA, `1`=ECDSA-P256, `3`=ECDSA-P521, `7`=EdDSA, `11`=RedDSA |

RSA types (`6`=RSA-2048, `8`=RSA-3072, `12`=RSA-4096) are rejected with a warning and fall back to EdDSA.

```bash

i2pbox keygen server.keys 11        # RedDSA (for encrypted LeaseSet)
```

### keyinfo

```
i2pbox keyinfo [-v] [-d] [-p] [-b] <keyfile>
```

| Flag | Output |

| `-d` | Base64 destination (public key) |
| `-p` | Base64 private key |
| `-b` | Blinded b33 address (for encrypted LeaseSet) |

```bash
i2pbox keyinfo router.keys          # → abcdef....b32.i2p
i2pbox keyinfo -v router.keys       # verbose
i2pbox keyinfo -d router.keys | i2pbox b33address   # pipe to b33
```

```bash
i2pbox vain i2p -t 4               # prefix match, 4 threads
i2pbox vain '^[a-z]2p' -r -t 8     # regex match

i2pbox regaddr_3ld step3 <step2-file> <privkey>
```

Three-step process for subdomain registration (e.g. `blog.mydomain.i2p`).

```bash
i2pbox regaddr_3ld step1 router.keys blog.myname.i2p > step1.txt
i2pbox regaddr_3ld step2 step1.txt parent.keys myname.i2p > step2.txt

I2P uses a custom Base64 alphabet (`-` and `~` instead of `+` and `/`, with no `=` padding).

```bash
echo "hello" | i2pbox i2pbase64             # encode
echo "aGVsbG8K" | i2pbox i2pbase64 -d       # decode

|---|---|---|
| `output` | *(required)* | Output file for offline keys |
| `master-keyfile` | *(required)* | Master private key |
| `sig-type` | `7` (EdDSA) | Transient signature type |
| `days` | `365` | Validity in days |

```bash
i2pbox offlinekeys offline.dat router.keys 7 90   # valid 90 days
```

### b33address

```
i2pbox b33address
```

Reads Base64 destination from stdin, outputs blinded b33 address + today's store hash. Used for encrypted LeaseSet (LS2).

```bash
i2pbox keyinfo -d router.keys | i2pbox b33address
# → b33 address: abcdef....b32.i2p
#   Today's store hash: XxYyZz...
```

### x25519

```
i2pbox x25519
```

Generates an X25519 key pair for encrypted LeaseSet authentication (LeaseSet Type 5).

```bash
i2pbox x25519
# → PublicKey: KB0fGMGzCMz...
#   PrivateKey: iGXVPyaik9m...

# Server i2pd.conf:
#   i2cp.leaseSetType = 5
#   i2cp.leaseSetAuthType = 1
#   i2cp.leaseSetClient.dh.210 = client:PublicKey

# Client tunnels.conf:
#   i2cp.leaseSetPrivKey = PrivateKey
```

### verifyhost

```
i2pbox verifyhost '<host-record>'
```

Verifies the cryptographic signature on a host registration record. Silent on success (exit 0); prints error on failure.

```bash
RECORD=$(i2pbox regaddr router.keys myname.i2p)
i2pbox verifyhost "$RECORD"
```

### autoconf_i2pd

```
i2pbox autoconf_i2pd
```

Interactive wizard that generates an `i2pd.conf`. Supports English and Russian. Prompts for network type, IP version, bandwidth, ports, floodfill mode, transit settings, and more.

```bash
i2pbox autoconf_i2pd
```

## Build

Dependencies: g++/clang (C++17), OpenSSL, Boost (program_options), zlib.

```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/iasds/i2pbox.git
cd i2pbox
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install   # → /usr/local/bin/i2pbox
```

First build compiles `libi2pd.a` from the i2pd submodule (~2 minutes).

### Platform support

The Makefile carries branches for Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows
(MSYS2/clang64), but **only Linux is tested by CI** (regression suite +
ASan/UBSan on Ubuntu 24.04). Other platforms build from the same sources but
are best-effort; please report breakage.

| Platform | Build | CI-tested |
|---|---|---|
| Linux (glibc) | ✅ | ✅ |
| macOS (Homebrew, openssl@3) | ⚠️ best-effort | ❌ |
| FreeBSD | ⚠️ best-effort | ❌ |
| Windows (MSYS2/clang64) | ⚠️ best-effort | ❌ |

## Comparison

| | i2pd-tools | i2pbox |
|---|---|---|
| **Binaries** | 14 separate | 1 |
| **Compile** | 14 link invocations | 1 |
| **Stripped size** | ~70 MB | ~5.2 MB |
| **Usage** | `./toolname args` | `i2pbox toolname args` |
| **Output** | — | same upstream logic, regression-tested (interop chains + golden vectors) |

## FAQ

### Behavioral differences?

None known. Each subcommand is built from the same upstream i2pd-tools logic, so behavior mirrors the originals (the one documented deviation is keygen's RSA fallback, see above). The regression suite (`tests/test_cli.sh`) covers all 14 subcommands with cross-tool interoperability chains (regaddr → verifyhost, keygen → keyinfo, offlinekeys → keyinfo, famtool sign → verify), golden vectors, and format assertions. CI runs it on both a normal build and an ASan/UBSan build with leak detection.

### Alias original names?

```bash
alias keygen='i2pbox keygen'
alias keyinfo='i2pbox keyinfo'
alias vain='i2pbox vain'
# ...
```
