  • ssh client for browser

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Sun Feb 28 09:35:00 2021
    Hello All..

    I just learned of this:

    "Telnet, SSH Client for Browser

    "This online app is a free implementation of SSH and Telnet for
    browser, along with an xterm terminal emulator. You can connect
    to any telnet server or BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) server
    using this telnet client. This app also provides web based SSH
    Client. You can access your SSH servers from your browser
    without installing anything. It allows you to execute shell
    commands on a server directly from a browser. Just enter the
    host name and port to connect and click the connect button. It
    is easy to use and very intuitive

    See it here:

    https://youfiles.herokuapp.com/telnetclient/

    It failed the first time I tried SSH with TRMB BBS, but it
    worked the 2nd time after using a regular telnet session.

    And now that website knows your userid and password to TRMB :(

    I had a funny feeling that might be the case. Aferall, it acts
    as a sort of proxy or MIT with the site that I want to connect
    to. Or.. it's just benign and treats user input as ephemeral?

    But if not, then my face is :( indeed.

    I tried to dig up a bit more info about it but my attempts to
    get more info about its IP failed.

    Does anyone know if there is a nodelisted sysop behind that
    project?

    The site/service was flyng the locked status typical for https:
    ..but the question remains, what actually happens to my
    keystrokes in that interface.
