pure is a collection of software and tools that I use to manage my network and my storage.

Directory tree:

• cmd/dnsd is meant to be an intercepting DNS caching proxy
  • I'm willingly not implementing support for most record types
  • The forwarder for A and AAAA records is loosely inspired by
    • Introducing DNS Resolver for Tor
    • DoHoT: better security, privacy, and integrity via load-balanced DNS over HTTPS over Tor
  • The cache is in-memory and it never performs record eviction, the purpose is to
    • minimize the latency introduced by DoHoT
    • reduce the amount of information deducible from the logs via pattern of life analysis
• pkg/nfqueue is a network interference tool that uses NFQUEUE
  • It modifies the window size of TCP packets with the SYN or the ACK flag set
  • Middleboxes that do not support stream reassembly will be unable to collect the metadata of the TLS streams
  • References:
    • brdgrd (Bridge Guard)
    • About Geneva - How it Works
• pkg/sni is a proxy for TLS that does not terminate
  • it refuses non-TLS traffic and connections to bare IP addresses
  • checks the geographical location of the remote endpoints
  • logs the Server Name Indication
• pkg/shsh is a http proxy tailor-made to support the "signed hash protocol"
  • https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/SHSH
  • it also forwards the traffic of some OCSP hosts
  • and redirects everything else towards HTTPS
• pkg/sntp is a sntp v4 server that relays the time of the system on which it is running
  • https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2030
• the rest of the project is just basic ansible
