    Get things from one computer to another, safely.

    This package provides a library and a command-line tool named wormhole, which makes it possible to get arbitrary-sized files and directories (or short pieces of text) from one computer to another. The two endpoints are identified by using identical "wormhole codes": in general, the sending machine generates and displays the code, which must then be typed into the receiving machine.

    The codes are short and human-pronounceable, using a phonetically-distinct wordlist. The receiving side offers tab-completion on the codewords, so usually only a few characters must be typed. Wormhole codes are single-use and do not need to be memorized.

    Although it's still only a CLI tool, I'm baffled at the simplicity this brings for file-sharing across the web. Data is sent without a middleman (aside from a small string identifying the computer sending the data) and encrypted.

    Secure, reliable, and occasionally, depending on your PAKE passphrase, fun!
