dabee

A peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted internet pipe powered by peopleswarm

npm install @peopledabeea/dabee

Usage

const dabee = require('dabee')

// 'neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa' is 32-byte unique passphrase
// to find the other side of your pipe.
// once the other peer is discovered it is used to derive a noise keypair as well.
const beam = new dabee('neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa')

// to generate a passphrase, leave the constructor empty and dabee will generate one for you
// const beam = new dabee()
// beam.key // <-- your passphrase

// make a little chat app
process.stdin.pipe(beam).pipe(process.stdout)

CLI

First install it

npm install -g dabee

Then on one machine run

echo 'hello world' | dabee

This will generate a phrase, eg "neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa". Then on another machine run

# will print "hello world"
dabee neznr3z3j44l7q7sgynbzpdrdlpausurbpcmqvwupmuoidolbopa

That's it! Happy piping.

API

const stream = new dabee([key][, options])

Make a new dabee duplex stream.

Will auto connect to another peer using the same key with an end to end encrypted tunnel.

When the other peer writes it's emitted as dabeea on this stream.

Likewise when you write to this stream it's emitted as dabeea on the other peers stream.

If you do not pass a key into the constructor (the passphrase), one will be generated and put on stream.key.

options include:

• dht: A DHT instance. Defaults to a new instance.

stream.key

The passphrase used by the stream for connection.
