Description

LANxfer

LANxfer is a simple, secure file transfer application designed for local area networks (LANs). It allows users to upload encrypted files, share them with specific devices or everyone on the network, and download them with automatic decryption—all within a cyberpunk-themed web interface. Built with Flask (Python) and JavaScript, it uses AES-256 encryption to ensure file security.

  • Download & Decrypt: Downloads files and decrypts them client-side using CryptoJS.

  • Cyberpunk UI: A sleek, neon-green-on-black interface inspired by cyberpunk aesthetics.
