cosmosocks: very portable ss-libev

The above picture is also an executable. (Yes, this actually works)

On *nix (Linux, Darwin, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD): chmod +x cosmoss.gif && ./cosmoss.gif -h
On Windows (8+): Just unzip the image as a zip file.

The image is a gif+sh+zip polygot. You can see behind the scenes tricks in this post.

what?

shadowsocks-libev ported to cosmopolitan libc, with minimal dependencies (no ACL, no SIP003, no winsock, only AEAD ciphers)

why??

• a great demonstration of cosmopolitan libc and ape
• it's portable (runs on linux/darwin/freebsd/openbsd/netbsd/nt)
• tiny. entire binary distribution packed with xz ~251kb (~400kb each, unpacked)

how???

gcc and linker magic. 🖖
