KCP is a low-latency transport protocol and reliability layer designed to provide TCP-like guaranteed delivery and ordering over UDP. It implements an automatic repeat request protocol to minimize network jitter and delays, prioritizing timeliness over bandwidth efficiency. The project distinguishes itself through a pluggable congestion controller and flow control logic, allowing the transport layer to be tuned for specific network environments. It includes a NAT keep-alive system that uses periodic heartbeat packets to maintain active communication paths and prevent address translation timeo
Uses unique conversation identifiers in packet headers to route data to session objects without formal handshakes.
This project is a memory-safe implementation of the QUIC transport protocol and HTTP/3, designed for high-throughput and efficient network communication. It provides a comprehensive toolkit for building secure, low-latency network applications by managing the full lifecycle of transport connections, including protocol negotiation, stream data exchange, and connection state management. The library distinguishes itself through a focus on performance and protocol integrity. It utilizes a formal state machine to enforce strict adherence to transport rules and employs zero-copy buffer management t
Manages the length and generation of unique identifiers for individual network sessions.
sockjs-client is a JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-compatible API for real-time, bidirectional communication between a web browser and a server. It functions as a transport-layer abstraction that ensures a stable full-duplex connection by emulating socket behavior. The library is distinguished by its automatic protocol-fallback mechanisms. When native WebSockets are unavailable or blocked by restrictive network environments, such as firewalls or proxies, it switches to HTTP-streaming emulation or XHR-polling to maintain connectivity. It covers capabilities for cross-domain data
Provides unique tokens to distinguish and track individual network sessions across multiple HTTP requests.
Smallchat is a minimal implementation of a concurrent network server and TCP-based chat system designed as a demonstration of C socket programming. It provides a basic server and client architecture that enables real-time text communication between multiple connected users. The project focuses on the implementation of a networked chat server that handles simultaneous client sessions. It utilizes a centralized broadcasting model to route incoming text from one client to all other active participants. The system manages concurrent client connections and session tracking using socket descriptor
Tracks individual network sessions using unique system socket descriptors as identifiers.
Supercookie is a browser fingerprinting tool that assigns persistent, cross-session tracking identifiers by exploiting the browser's favicon cache. It operates without storing any data on the server, relying entirely on the browser's cache behavior to maintain tracking state across visits, including during incognito or private browsing sessions. The technique works by encoding unique user identifiers through distinct favicon subpaths, creating separate cache entries for each tracking token. A sequence of HTTP redirects through multiple favicon subpaths writes and reads cache-based tracking pa
Assigns stable browser identifiers persisting across sessions via favicon cache manipulation.
Displayplacer is a command-line tool for managing multi-monitor display layouts on macOS. It enables users to save, apply, and automate screen configurations including resolution, rotation, arrangement, and mirroring settings entirely from the terminal without requiring a graphical interface. The tool identifies displays using persistent hardware IDs rather than port-based identifiers, allowing layouts to be restored consistently across reconnections and reboots. It supports headless display configuration, enabling or disabling monitors, rotating internal and external displays, and designatin
Uses contextual session identifiers when persistent hardware IDs are reassigned by macOS, maintaining layout stability across reboots.
Hoaxshell is a command and control system for Windows remote command execution. It provides a framework for generating and managing reverse shell payloads that utilize an HTTP beaconing protocol, where victim clients periodically poll a handler to receive and execute instructions. The project distinguishes itself through its ability to bypass PowerShell Constrained Language Mode using specialized payload generation. It supports encrypted command and control via TLS certificate injection and provides mechanisms for remote session recovery, allowing a handler to reestablish control over active
Uses unique session identifiers in HTTP headers to associate incoming requests with specific shell sessions.
