PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH

0
View on GitHub↗

Win32 OpenSSH

Win32-OpenSSH is a secure shell suite that provides an OpenSSH port for Windows operating systems. It consists of an SSH server for remote management and authentication, a secure shell client for establishing encrypted connections, and an SFTP server for managing files.

The project enables secure remote administration of Windows servers and workstations via a command line interface. It supports encrypted file transfers using SFTP and SCP protocols and allows for cross-platform remote management of Windows systems from Linux or macOS environments.

The implementation integrates with Windows services to allow the daemon to run in the background. It utilizes a privilege-separated process model and the SSH-2 protocol to maintain secure communication channels.

    Ockam is a zero-trust networking framework designed to secure data transit between distributed applications using an identity-based network overlay. It provides the primitives necessary to establish mutually authenticated and end-to-end encrypted connections, removing the reliance on traditional network-layer security. The project is distinguished by its use of attribute-based access control and verifiable credentials to manage trust at scale. It implements cryptographic identity rotation to maintain identity continuity and integrates with hardware-backed key management systems to secure priv
