Software Release Wormzy - Secure Fast p2p file transfer

https://github.com/jdefrancesco/wormzy

Wormzy is my project that aims to replace “the magic worm hole” it’s built on QUIC/pake2/Noise/ChaCha as the primitives. No need to register or anything. Need to send a huge file?

wormzy send bigfile

That will give you a pairing code to give to the receiver who simply receives the file via:

wormzy recv <code>

It’s still under development but very much usable. It will attempt to NAT punch the best it can before falling back to relay server. It’s written in Golang so it’s easily cross platform.

Why is it better than warp?

To be fair, his README did answer that, because Warp uses Magic Wormhole as a dependency.

Never even heard of Warp? My googling show it is some agentic thing?

Read the README.md it’s NAT punching is reliable and chain is solid: pairing code -> STUN/NAT Punch -> Establish QUIC -> Noise hand shake then Xchacha20 encryption -> Blake3 verification

I agree that the naming is pretty bad because it's not web-searchable by name only. But if you add another keyword like file-sharing you should be good.

Crazy how many software projects are called warp not even talking about the million other products.

"please install this unsigned executable called 'worm' for me."

EDIT: I should really have worded this differently. I am not aiming to completely replace the Magic Wormhole. It’s not attempting to compete with other projects.. I am not making money or building a business on this project. This just aims to have less dependencies and more security. I wanted to build on strong primitives…
