because i think croc-but-its-tor-services would be a really, really funny idea
how install
- get tor browser: https://torproject.org
- keep it running while you run alli commands
- get python 3
- get python poetry: https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation
- make sure to switch
python
topython3
on the pipe or else it will install itself as python2 which can lead to weirdness
- make sure to switch
git clone https://github.com/lun-4/alligator
poetry install
poetry run alli send myfile.txt
# copy the url provided and paste it after 'poetry run alli rx'
poetry run alli rx http://glaikjrgosihrgoislhr.onion/_alli/myfile.txt
how it works
-
alli send
creates a tor hidden service whose only purpose is to send the file -
alli receive
is a glorified downloader -
TODO once the download is finished,
alli send
destroys the hidden service
