pydiode

Transfer data through a unidirectional network (i.e., a data diode).

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install pydiode

To install from source, clone the repo then run:

pip install .

Usage

Documentation:

pydiode --help
pydiode send --help
pydiode receive --help

Start a receiver on localhost:

pydiode --debug receive 127.0.0.1

Send data to the receiver, from localhost to localhost:

pydiode --debug send 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1

Type some information into the receiver. When finished, press enter, then type Control-D to signal the end-of-file. The receiver should print the received information.

With debug-level logging, you will see details about each packet sent and received. Omit the --debug paramater when sending large amount of data, since debug-level logging incurs significant CPU usage.

Development

Run unit tests:

python -m unittest tests.tests

Since the unit tests run on the installed code, remember to install the latest version of the code before running the unit tests.
