Famous last words :)
On a serious note - this looks like a really useful addition to the toolbox of "low-level unix flavored tools". I can see this being a simple basis for connecting infrastructure together without exposing potentially sensitive data.
- cperciva 13y agoFamous last words :) Please audit the code! Just like tarsnap, spiped is eligible for bug bounties. I can see this being a simple basis for connecting infrastructure together without exposing potentially sensitive data. Yes, that's exactly it. The use case is "I have a bunch of servers and I want them to talk to each other securely". Ten years ago this would have just been a matter of stringing cat5 between them, but Cloud changes that.
