WASTE Encrypted Sharing
WASTE is a peer-to-peer encrypted file sharing and private messaging application. It facilitates secure group communications by creating encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs) between trusted peers. Designed for small, private group use, it helps users exchange files, chat messages, and link to another trusted user securely without relying on a central server..
WASTE operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer communication network designed to provide secure sharing of files and private messaging among trusted participants. It employs public-private key cryptography and strong encryption to authenticate peers and safeguard data exchanged over the network. Connections are established directly between known users, bypassing centralized servers, which enhances both privacy and resilience against common attack vectors.
Technical communication between WASTE clients typically involves exchanging key fingerprints in advance, creating a web-of-trust model where only verified friends can join the network. The application handles both file transfer and chat functionality over encrypted communication channels. TCP is the primary protocol used, providing reliable delivery of large files and complex data streams essential for its encrypted messaging and file transfers.
Port 1337 is the unofficial default port used by WASTE for these encrypted exchanges. It’s configured by default but can be customized, allowing flexibility but requiring mindful firewall and security rule adjustments to maintain proper functionality. Since there is no centralized directory, participating peers must manually exchange connection details and keys.
