expose localhost to the internet with just one command
Just run Bore, and your local server is live on the internet.
→ Built in Rust for speed and portability.
→ No account required, unlike Ngrok.
→ Simple, short URLs for easy sharing.
Great for testing, collaboration, and demos.
Also great for hackers.
Attackers use tools like Bore to expose internal services, bypassing firewalls and hiding their tracks. A compromised machine with Bore running is a security nightmare.
Organizations self-host internal tools, assuming they are safe behind NAT. But if an attacker runs Bore, that assumption is long gone.
Security teams should monitor outbound traffic. An unknown tunnel running on a random port? That might not be a developer testing a new feature.
In a controlled environment, blocking outbound connections is a really smart strategy. For example, if you’re only running a MySQL server on port 3306, it makes perfect sense to block any other outbound connections from that machine.
(Keeping in mind blocking outbound connections can lead to unexpected behavior if not setup properly)
