HyperPipe

Uses hyperswarm to share stdin and stdout between two peers

Why

• Simple very quick way to share info between two computers
• Secret only someone with access to the key can connect to the pipe
• Ephemeral once a connection is closed, there's no way to recover the data that was sent through it

Usage

On computer 1

$ echo "This is my spooky secret, tell no one" | hyperpipe 75489961d69a855463d67951fe72af37bd7add7fbe71ccfbd8bf17974ad26afd

On computer 2

$ hyperpipe 75489961d69a855463d67951fe72af37bd7add7fbe71ccfbd8bf17974ad26afd > spookySecret.txt

Notes

• if you provide no key, hyperpipe will create one for you
• hyperpipe prints information about the connection to stderr, so please only pipe from stdout
• hyperpipe currently only supports 2 peers connected to a key at a time, it's up to you to enforce this

Roadmap

• allow n peers to be connected to a key at once
• add --verbose flag to print more info to stderr
• add --tee flag to pipe everything that goes to stdout to stderr as well
• add --porcelan flag to produce more machine readable meta output to stderr
