Hacker VPN

Level of Instruction: Advanced

Instructed by: Eijah, Benjamin "Cave Twink" Woodill

Abstract:

The Internet is a dangerous place. Fortunately, hackers have created tools to make it safer. VPNs anonymize traffic but still expose IP addresses. Companies claim not to log, but how quickly will they hand over our data when they receive a warrant? Tor networks reroute traffic, but performance suffers as a result. Can we trust these distributed networks? Who owns the exit nodes? Finally, apps like Signal offer E2EE secure comms but in a proprietary and siloed way. Open source means very little if an app operates in a Walled Garden. Are there back doors? Is our data really safe?

In this workshop we'll create a Hacker VPN that combines the best of VPNs, Tor, and E2EE secure comms apps. We'll use modern-day PQC encryption to implement a secure protocol. We'll use both TCP/UDP as our network protocols to demonstrate flexibility in design. We'll support packet sharding, random noise injection, multi-hop routing, and 100% anonymity between network endpoints. We'll do all this on Linux with standard C++, CMake & OpenSSL. At the end of this workshop you'll have all the tools you need to take the Hacker VPN to the next level. Why trust outdated software from shady companies when you can build your own modern day, kick-ass implementation?

Yes, the Internet is a dangerous place. But it's much safer when we take control.
