Re: [PATCH] Add xorpipe utility

Hi My rationale behind writing this simple utility is as follows: Moving data through a fully encrypted tunnel like SSH is too slow for me, so I use netcat/socat for moving large chunks of data between systems. I don't want the data to be easily identified and reproduced if it is somehow

I wrote a pipeline utility that performs an XOR of the data streamed through it using a 32-bit key specified on the command line, intended mainly to serve as a sort of poor man's encryption. It also includes an option that generates a random key to stdout. Being new to BusyBox development, I hope
