Cybersecurity & Ethical HackingC#GPL-3.0

Abstract

Kee Pass OTP is an open-source Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking project. Add OTP support (two factor authentication) to KeePass. KeePassOTP allows you to generate one time passwords (OTP). It supports both standard TOTP and standard HOTP as well as Steam OTP and Yandex (Yandex.Key < 3). It is built using C#. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the GNU General Public License v3.0, making it a useful reference for students building a Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

KeePassOTP allows you to generate one time passwords (OTP). It supports both standard TOTP and standard HOTP as well as Steam OTP and Yandex (Yandex.Key < 3).

In the database-specific area you can choose the working mode of KeePassOTP.

Once set up, you can copy or auto-type the OTP. You may also create a QR code and scan it with an OTP app of your liking, e.g. andOTP, Google Authenticator etc.

2. Objective

Add OTP support (two factor authentication) to KeePass

This project demonstrates how C# can be applied to a real-world Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking problem.
