facebook-tunnel is an experimental project that explores tunneling internet traffic through Facebook chat messages. Its core idea is to encode packets as Base64 and send them through chat-based communication rather than a normal network tunnel. The project uses TUN/TAP networking concepts and includes components for interacting with Facebook login, message sending, and message receiving. It depends on tools and libraries such as Gumbo parser, libcurl, TUN/TAP support on Linux, GCC, G++, CMake, and related build components. The repository describes the project as unfinished, with planned work around completing the client, adding obfuscation or cryptography, and supporting more platforms. It is best understood as a proof-of-concept and research experiment rather than a polished or modern tunneling product.
