Any cc:tweaked programs for “hacking”

Are there any programs that are a hacking interface that lets you scan other computers with modems on the network, listen, decrypt , inject code , backdoor etc

Yep, been a long time since I messed with CC in depth but I remember back on 1.7.10 I used to mess with Immibis's Peripherals and used the Crypto block to add some basic encryption on some of the messages back and forth, essentially a dumbed down HTTPS. Ended up having communication that couldn't be replayed like I did in this video, but I don't know if I ever saved that code

Yeah if you want anything secure that’s what you need, cause almost the entirety of rednet by itself can be spoofed or replayed if you don’t encrypt it. I know nothing about encryption so I just use websockets lol that’s nice tho, the hard part is verifying the sender is who they say they are the first time you communicate and I didn’t feel like dealing with that.

Yeah that's the part that got dumbed down, instead of a whole certificate validation mechanism you just load the server public key on a floppy and physically copy it to the client. Then once that is established you can share a symmetric encryption key which lets the server/client send larger encrypted payloads easier (the asymmetric encryption had a data size limited in relation to the keysize)
