gollark: SPUDNET is used in a lot of places where people want to not bother with that much and just shove secured communications between some endpoints.
gollark: I did have a thing with ingame modems and some ECC library on older versions, which ensured that you couldn't fake a message from the remote debugging (not backdoor) computer.
gollark: It's technically websockets, but those are *basically* HTTP.
gollark: It's the potatOS remote debugging (totally not a backdoor) backend.
gollark: Yep, the magic uninterceptability of HTTP is why SPUDNET uses it.
