Cool tool of the day: wormhole.app

Ever wanted to send a big file (up to 10GB) file to someone easily? it expires in a day, but I have found it super useful for sending around zip files.

this free service that is secure and built by Feross, a genuine wizard.

@brewsterkahle

You made my day. I have been looking for something like this. I do not need that large, but I want something over the typical 10M limit of an email attachment.

@SpaceLifeForm @brewsterkahle There are already a lot of file sharing websites, like file.io

@brewsterkahle I'm not sure I would trust encryption through a Javascript download. But #MagicWormwhole exists as a pretty cool, small, secure tool on most Linux distros. And I love this tool :-). Much easier than using "scp" or even "netcat" :D, where you'd need to know an IP address or hostname, for instance.

@T_X @brewsterkahle

I use Croc which takes a similar E2EE real time approach, but:

easier to install (standalone download, no deps),

no CLI skills (supports entire directories, drag-and-drop send, click to receive in directory of portable executable, typable pass phrase)

works behind firewalls

I hope with WebRTC these can become web apps. Some early work: https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole

@brewsterkahle Neat. I was sad when Mozilla killed a similar service.

@webbureaucrat

A fork of Mozilla Send (RIP) is being maintained at https://gitlab.com/timvisee/send.

It can be self-hosted and works very well. Otherwise, a list of public instances is available here: https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/

@brewsterkahle

[Edit: repo moved to Gitlab]

@brewsterkahle Interesting that the word "trust" does not appear on the FAQ or security pages. You can't have security without trust. I bet they are trustworthy at the moment. But it's a bet. How do we know when wormhole pivots to a steal everything model? I'd prefer an implementation that requires zero trust. Unfortunately that's not how the web works.
