sbd is runs on Unix-like operating systems and on Microsoft Win32. sbd features AES-CBC-128 + HMAC-SHA1 encryption (by Christophe Devine), program execution (-e option), choosing source port, continuous reconnection with delay, and some other nice features.
Only TCP/IP communication is supported. Source code and binaries are distributed under the GNU General Public License.
sbd can be used for any number of network-related things, for example.:
- Secure file transfer
- Remote administration
- Simple (but secure) peer-to-peer chat
- Pen-test tool (crypto avoids NIDS detection and telnet-style traffic recording)
To compile sbd under a Unix-like operating system you need gcc and relevant development tools. For Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD (and possibly others), type:
make unix
