THIS PROJECT IS STILL IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT IT USES EXPERIMENTAL CRYPTOGRAPHIC LIBRARIES AND IT HAS NOT HAD ANY KIND OF SECURITY OR CRYPTOGRAPHY REVIEW THIS SOFTWARE MIGHT BE BROKEN AND UNSAFE https://xkcd.com/949/ WebWormhole creates ephemeral pipes between computers to send files or other data. Try it at https://webwormhole.io or on the command line. On one computer the tool generates a one-time code: $ cat hello.txt hello, world $ ww send hello.txt 8-enlist-decadence On another use the code to establish a connection: $ ww receive 8-enlist-decadence $ cat hello.txt hello, world To install the command line tool: $ go get webwormhole.io/cmd/ww This requires Go 1.13 or newer. To run the signalling server you need to compile the WebAssembly files first. $ make wasm $ ww server -https= -http=localhost:8000 To package the browser extension for Firefox or Chrome: $ make webwormhole-ext.zip WebWormhole is inspired by and uses a model very similar to that of Magic Wormhole. https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole It differs in that it uses WebRTC to make its connections. This allows us to make use of WebRTC's NAT traversal tricks, as well as the fact that it can be used in browsers. The exchange of session descriptions (offers and answers) is protected by PAKE and a generated random password, similar to Magic Wormhole. The session descriptions include the fingerprints of the DTLS certificates that WebRTC uses to secure its communications. The author operates the signalling server at webwormhole.io, its alias wrmhl.link, and a relay server. These are free to use but come with no SLAs or any guarantees of uptime. They facilitate establishing connections between peers, but do not handle any transferred data in cleartext. The protocol does not need to trust the signalling server to maintain the confidentiality of the files transferred. However, the convenience of using the web client directly on webwormhole.io comes at the cost of having to trust the code it serves. If the server is ever compromised it can be used inject malicious code that undermines the security of the client. To mitigate this, you can have more control over which version of the client you run by using the command line client or the browser extension. The extension is identical to the web client, but packaged for Chrome and Firefox, loads no remote code, and requires no permissions: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/webwormhole/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jhombkhjanncdalcbcahinpjoacaiidn Unless otherwise noted, the source files in this repository are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.
