For text I like http://termbin.com . It just accepts text on port 9999, no HTTP required.
Just text, you say? https://termbin.com/0nlm
I guessed but how could I have identified the string as a base64 hash?

I would like to know if there are any advantages to use nc instead of scp ?
You don't need an account on the target system. Target PC opens a port and starts listening (outputting to file) Sending machine establishes a connection to the listening port, and starts copying the file. Example (hide a file transfer as DNS traffic) Listening computer: nc -l -u -p 53 > output.file Sending computer: cat original.file > nc -u [destination ip address] 53 In this case you'd be dumb not to encrypt the f…
- Your 'sending' snippet should use | instead of >.
- ports 1-1023 are privileged.
This is exactly the use case for Magic Wormhole, which is what the cool kids use to transfer files: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole Magic Wormhole uses an end-to-end PAKE to create an encrypted transport between two points in the Internet, using a rendezvous server. It doesn't store files, which is almost never what you want; it's not a way to send a file and have 10 or 100 people download it. But it…
I wish magic wormhole used federated rendezvous servers, was usable from within a locked down corporate network, had a .NET implementation with a pretty GUI so that even my mom could use it, came with all major OS by default and was as accepted as e-mail so that I can actually share files with everyone, not just my nerdy friends. Is that even remotely a realistic thought?

Also why no attempt at NAT traversal; instead relaying traffic through a transit server.
It's almost as if the project's purpose is not so much to create superior file transfer but more just to showcase a use of SPAKE2.

What stops someone from using up all the channel IDs on the rendezvous server. Also why no attempt at NAT traversal; instead relaying traffic through a transit server. It's almost as if the project's purpose is not so much to create superior file transfer but more just to showcase a use of SPAKE2.

`curl -s " https://termbin.com/0nlm " | base64 --decode | file -` I guessed but how could I have identified the string as a base64 hash?

I feel like a web clone of it hits some of your goals: https://webwormhole.io/
Thank you! :)

It does, except it removes a giant advantage of magic wormhole: True end to end encryption requiring only TOFU. The web version downloads JavaScript every time and unless a specific version is somehow pinned by default, you are in principle vulnerable to MitM attacks.
