Sshwifty
Sshwifty is a web-based remote terminal and SSH client that allows for the administration of remote systems through a browser without requiring a native terminal client. It provides a password-protected administrative portal to restrict unauthorized access and supports both SSH and Telnet connectivity.
The application includes a SOCKS5 proxy gateway to route outgoing remote terminal traffic. It also utilizes server-side hooks that execute external processes to validate or modify connection logic before a session is established.
The system manages connectivity parameters through environment-based configuration and uses WebSocket stream tunneling to relay bidirectional data between the browser and remote hosts.
Features
- Web-Based Interfaces - Provides an interactive SSH and Telnet client accessible directly through a web browser.
- WebSocket Proxy Tunnels - Relays real-time bidirectional data between the browser and remote SSH/Telnet sessions via WebSocket tunnels.
- Secure Remote Access - Establishes encrypted remote connections to hosts with an added layer of password-protected interface access.
- SSH and Telnet Clients - Enables the establishment of SSH and Telnet sessions to remote hosts via a web interface.
- Browser-Based Remote Shell Access - Provides a web-based interface for accessing remote server shells without requiring native client installation.
- Web-Based Remote Terminals - Serves as a web-based remote terminal for executing shell commands on remote systems.
- Connection Lifecycle Hooks - Triggers external server processes to modify behavior or abort remote connections based on process return codes.
- Pre-Request Logic Hooks - Executes external shell processes immediately before establishing sessions to validate or modify connection logic.
- Shared Secret Keys - Restricts access to the administrative web interface using a pre-shared secret key.
- Password Access Restrictions - Implements a password-protected entry point to prevent unauthorized access to remote connection pages.
- Connection Workflow Automation - Uses server-side hooks to trigger external processes that validate or modify connections before establishment.
- Development Environments - Provides a web-based SSH and Telnet client.
