Port knocking clients have minimal requirements and can run on x86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, IBM390, or RISC-V. Currently only supported OS's are Linux and Windows, with support for Android planned to be added in the future.

Currently only supported OS's are Linux and Windows, with support for Android planned to be added in the future.
The port knocking daemon has more strict requirements and is only available for Linux. It requires the kernel be built with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, which most major distributions have out of the box.

Additionally, hypd has some network requirements. hypd is only expected to work on ethernet networks with IPv4.
Once you get the runtime requirements sorted, be sure to check out the hyp and hypd directories of the repository for README information for how to use hyp.

# hyp-client # hyp | Hide Your Ports Client
The client expects there to be a file named hyp.secret in the same directory. This file is generated by the hypd server using ./hypd generate secret. The hyp client is used on machines to perform an authentic knock sequence.
### Usage
You can use -h to get help for hyp and all its commands. When figuring out how to do something, -h is your friend.
```bash ```bash
# Example Usage # Get general hyp help
# ./hyp knock <server> ./hyp -h
./hyp knock 192.168.50.5
# Get help specific to the hyp knock command
./hyp knock -h
```
In order to use the hyp client, it must have the secret. Secrets are generated by hypd, the knock daemon. See the hypd README.md file for more information about generating secrets.
Once you have the secret, you can then perform an authentic knock sequence to a server.
```bash
# Assumes secret is in file named my-first-secret in same directory
./hyp knock 8.69.4.20 --secret my-first-secret
# If you omit --secret, hyp will look for a file named hyp.secret
./hyp knock 8.69.4.20
```
This will perform a single one-shot knock sequence and then hyp will exit. You can also run hyp in a persistent mode where it will perform an authentic knock sequence at a specified interval.
```bash
# Performs an authentic knock sequence every 45 minutes
./hyp knock 8.69.4.20 --refreshtime=45
``` ```

Running hypd requires generating secrets which are then shared with hyp clients. hypd is used to generate these secrets, and it's recommended you create a directory just for hyp secrets.

If you encounter any errors while trying to run, address those. If not, then you're now listening for incoming authentic knock sequences. Make sure you distribute the secret to the client.
