apenwarr/sshuttle edit / delete

A VPN system that works over TCP without TCP-over-TCP problems. On the local machine, a transparent proxy and some firewall rules to rewrite outgoing traffic to it; the transparent proxy reassembles TCP streams, and feeds the data over a multiplexed ssh link to a proxy running on another machine. Neat. It doesn't currently have an option to use SSH's built-in SOCKS support, though -- and it would be cool if it could be made to use an arbitrary SOCKS proxy (e.g. Tor's).

Introduction to CurveCP edit / delete

A TCP-like protocol using NaCl's crypto. Interesting in that it's done entirely in userspace over UDP, with an eye both on pervasive crypto and good performance. Unfortunately the web site's a bit incomplete -- e.g. it suggests there's a CurveCP-like mechanism for encoding public keys in server names, but doesn't describe it.

ZMap · The Internet Scanner edit / delete

Stateless scanner for very large networks (e.g. the Internet). Shame they've chosen to roll their own completely broken build system and I can't compile it without copious hand-hacking.

MultiPath TCP - Linux Kernel implementation : Main - Home Page browse edit / delete

From userspace, it looks like TCP. To routers and NAT boxes, it looks like TCP. But it's actually using multiple TCP connections over different paths to improve reliability and throughput. The presentation is well worth a look, for a comprehensive overview of how your TCP connection is likely to get messed up by cheap/evil network hardware...
