## Description

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.
