About The Project 📬

MUDP stands for Messaging User Datagram Protocol and it is a UDP based protocol created by @joaoofreitas that sends and receives asynchronous encrypted messages from a peer to another.

This project is a code implementation of this protocol (I consider the protocol itself just theory).

I decided to start this project mostly for learning and going a little bit deeper around networking. This project gave me skills in sockets, encryption, compression and raw packet networking.

Use cases:

• Full control of communication with another person without sniffing or network tracking.

Built With 🐍

• python
• rsa
