Related: Does anyone by chance know how to configure an "anonymous" ssh account that always runs the same program? This would be great for making text mode games available to everyone without needing to support different platforms, now that windows actually ships with ssh.

you can configure sshd to run any random executable when a user connects

Looks like ascii colors aren't being filtered correctly.. which is a pretty big issue. White on white isn't very readable... :-)

this sounds like a terminal thing. what terminal are you on.

what sort of server resource usage is this like right now as you are getting a ton of traffic?

also noticed that people were able to run commands but permission denied. that kinda freaked me out. eventually somebody is going to figure out how to escape the go binary

I'd recommend using https://github.com/gliderlabs/ssh instead, no chance of some shell escape that way.

I use a fork of that!

I'm also interested. Setting up a passwordless SSH account for some public service sounds like a good way to give your machine away to North Korean hackers, because you forgot to set someting in /etc/sshd to "no".

Is there a usable description somewhere on how to do this safely?

quackduck · a year ago

i'd be interested in seeing that. here its ok because it doesnt use sshd at all

The most amazing part is perhaps the fact that this one is still around, 10 years later! Try it yourself and you’ll see :)

ssh-chat sort of inspired devzat. here's the story: I used to live in dubai at the time and for some odd dns reasons I could never actually join ssh-chat, but it acted as proof that ssh chats are possible, and so I decided to make my own version of it. then I moved to the us and was actually able to use both ssh-chat and devzat.

There was a beginner friendly machine to hack on HackTheBox where you had to hack a Devzat instance

quackduck · a year ago

a devzat regular made that!
