Skyhook is a file transfer tool that implements obfuscation techniques to avoid detection by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). The tool operates over HTTP protocol and applies various obfuscation methods to disguise file transfer activities.
The primary function of Skyhook is to enable covert file transfers in environments where network monitoring and security controls are present. It modifies standard HTTP traffic patterns to blend with normal web traffic, making it difficult for security systems to identify and flag the file transfer operations.
The tool is designed for scenarios where traditional file transfer methods might trigger security alerts or be blocked by network security appliances. By using HTTP as the transport protocol and implementing obfuscation layers, Skyhook attempts to maintain a low profile during data exfiltration or infiltration operations.
