  • chisel

    A fast TCP/UDP tunnel over HTTP

  • ABPTTS

    TCP tunneling over HTTP/HTTPS for web application servers

  • I wrote this for pen testing purposes, but it worked so well that I've used it to get around public WiFi limitations like the author of TFA:

    https://github.com/nccgroup/ABPTTS

    (Still need to port it to Python 3 someday)

    I was very surprised at how finicky some TCP software is. SSH/SCP in particular was not at all tolerant of seemingly minor delays that every other client/server combination ignored. My gold standard for testing became "can you perform an arbitrary number of tunneling layers, where the layers alternate between SSH and the HTTP tunnel, and still behave as reliably as a direct connection?"

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
