GoKawiilBitBang CLI
BitBang CLI is a single static binary remote-access multitool: open an interactive shell, browse and transfer files, and access web apps on the remote machine's network from any browser, no port forwarding, no configuring, and no account.
On the machine you want to reach:
curl -sSfL bitba.ng/install | sh bitbang serve
serve prints a URL. Open it in any browser and you get a terminal, a file browser, and a proxy to that machine's network -- or connect from another terminal with bitbang connect <url> using the same binary. The connection is end-to-end encrypted and peer-to-peer; the bitba.ng server introduces the two ends, then steps aside.
bitbang is a single static Go binary. It's part of the BitBang project; this whitepaper covers the design in depth.
Pairing with a 6-digit code
When you can't paste a URL or scan a QR code, such as when you're on the phone, or within yelling distance, bitbang serve also prints a short pairing code. The other party opens bitba.ng/<code> (or runs bitbang connect <code> ), their screen shows a second 6-digit number, and they read that one back to you. You type it in to approve. A machine-in-the-middle can't make the two numbers match, and pairing saves the device connection credentials for next time, e.g. bitbang connect nas1 . If you know Magic Wormhole, the shape is similar -- a spoken code that securely introduces two machines.
Nothing to forward or configure. Works from behind NAT, CGNAT, or a locked-down network -- no router changes, no VPN, no tunnel daemon.
