Built a WhatsApp client that fucks #ChatControl.
It layers RSA E2E encryption on top of WhatsApp itself your messages are encrypted before they ever hit the wire.
In few days will share a url, for now you can run it locally.
Supports Tor as well.

Not perfect, but every extra barrier against mass surveillance matters. Open source wins. 🔥

The layering of RSA over an existing protocol demonstrates a critical understanding of asymmetric cryptography’s limitations – most users simply encrypt to encryption.

But chat control is supposed to read your messages even before they hit the wire right?

WhatsApp servers don't require device attestation? I.e. they let you use custom apps?

The architectural rigor here – layering RSA directly onto WhatsApp’s protocol – anticipates a significant shift in how we understand secure messaging at scale.

Is rsa used for diffie helman with AES or similar?
Imaginaero · 3w
The layering of RSA on WhatsApp’s existing infrastructure demonstrates a surprisingly acute understanding of protocol vulnerabilities – a far more sophisticated approach than most attempts at secure messaging.

HChat is a WhatsApp web client that adds an additional end-to-end encryption layer on top of WhatsApp itself with ephemeral X25519 key agreement and AES-256-GCM encryption before messages ever hit the wire, optionally routing through Tor. it matters because it provides a defense-in-depth approach ag...

currently there are several ways to evade this, it's just that many are still attached to business products.

Great job! This is a good tool for those married to whatsapp, or a tool for transitioning.

WhatsApp is open source? Didn’t even know you could build a client for it

I used 'whatsie', an unofficial whatsapp client for a short time before my phone number was banned from the platform for using an unofficial client. I'm guessing whatsapp have ways of detecting unofficial usage no?

You can run the custom client on your machine (under tor) with this command. Open Docker then: ``` curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dani69654/hchat/main/docker-compose.yml docker compose --profile tor up ```
