croc shouldn't be used if you want security:

Magic Wormhole has a good implementation in Go, which is compatible with the original Python implementation (croc is not compatible with magic wormhole). It has windows binary and binaries for most of the popular OS.

Binaries: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william/releases

There's GUI: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui

Android app too: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william-mobile

Support for resuming transfers is planned I think.

Magic Wormhole doesn't have a history of game over security vulnerabilities.
