schollz/croc

Croc is a secure file transfer tool that enables users to send and receive files via a modernized CLI and an embedded web client. The system facilitates direct peer-to-peer communication and optional encrypted temporary storage, supporting both legacy and new four-word code formats. It enforces strict security and safety limits, including bounded decompression, message size caps, and context-aware operations, while providing cross-platform disk usage reporting and automated release workflows.

This period was defined by a comprehensive rewrite of the croc application into a modern CLI tool, introducing a modular architecture with a new code format, enhanced encryption options, and improved network handling. The project also expanded its capabilities with a web server, proxy support, and robust security measures against memory exhaustion.

This period focused on expanding the application's capabilities by introducing a browser-based web client and a temporary file storage service. The work involved building out the web interface, WebAssembly cryptographic workers, and the backend infrastructure for encrypted, time-limited file sharing.
