User Reviews

  • Bad crypto. DO NOT USE. There is IV reuse and the password KDF is one of the worst I've seen: cryptcat -k bunnies -l 12345 cryptcat -k b5ee9e3 127.0.0.1 12345 or cryptcat -k Kue.ins 127.0.0.1 12345 Also no MAC and you can XOR anything to the first 16 bytes of each packet without artifacts.
