Aesop Aesop is a TCP-proxy which supports many advanced and powerful features. It's designed to be secure, fast and reliable. Aesop makes use of strong cryptography for all it's data-transmission up to the end-link. Another powerful feature of Aesop is that Aesop proxies can be transparently stacked into a secure chain. Aesop is implemented using multiplexing and is therefore fast and lightweight. Aesop ships with libaesop, which is a LD_PRELOAD wrapper around connect(), it enables almost any application to be run over a defined chain of aesop proxies. +Key features: - Fast and reliable TCP-proxy. - Strong cryptography: Arcfour (RC4) with a 512bit key exchanged by the Signed Diffie Hellman protocol (With RSA/MD5 for the signature). - Encryption and key-exchange is all transparent to the user. - Multiple proxies can be stacked in a chain to create a secure anonymous route, there is no limit on how many proxies can be stacked. Stacking is done all transparent to the user. - Libaesop enables almost any application to be run over a defined chain of aesop proxies. - Proper forwarding and handling of Out-of-Band (OOB) data. - Optimal performance by a single-thread design. Aesop is fully multiplexed. - Advisory/Mandatory endpoint sourceport specification. - Lightweight.
