Ptunnel is an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies. At first glance, this might seem like a rather useless thing to do, but it can actually come in handy in some cases.
Get Ptunnel and give it a try to see what it's all about!
Here are some key features of "Ptunnel":
· Tunnel TCP using ICMP echo request and reply packets
· Connections are reliable (lost packets are resent as necessary)
· Handles multiple connections
· Acceptable bandwidth (150 kb/s downstream and about 50 kb/s upstream are the currently measured maximas for one tunnel, but with tweaking this can be improved further)
· Authentication, to prevent just anyone from using your proxy
Requirements:
· mingw
· WinPcap
