  • Understand the weird Socks 5 protocol and HTTP proxy
    2 projects | /r/u_txthinking | 8 Apr 2023
    Let's talk about HTTP proxies first. There are actually two types of HTTP proxies, one is a reverse proxy, such as nico and nginx, which are not shown here. The other is tunnel proxy. We mainly expand this kind of proxy. It can proxy any content based on TCP. Note that there is a misunderstanding here. Many people think that HTTP proxy can only proxy http:// content, but it can also proxy https: // and any TCP-based content, but can't proxy UDP content, and we'll see why it can't proxy UDP content later.

  • Show HN: Knockles – eBPF Port Knocking Tool

    > Is this approach used elsewhere?

    Yes, or at least in a similar fashion. An alternative variant of port knocking is SPA (Single Packet Authorization). Often SPA protocols use UDP and contain within the body field an encrypted payload containing all the required data to authenticate and authorize a particular request.

    There are multiple different implementations of SPA: OpenSPA [1] (full disclosure: I am the author of OpenSPA), fwknop [2] just to name a few.

    SDP (Software Defined Perimeter) often builds upon SPA technologies in order to achieve a form of zero trust access.

    I am currently re-writting the OpenSPA protocol (version 2) and I plan on playing around with eBPF as well, so thanks eeriedusk for paving the way :)
