Package sshchat is an implementation of an ssh server which serves a chat room instead of a shell. sshd subdirectory contains the ssh-related pieces which know nothing about chat. chat subdirectory contains the chat-related pieces which know nothing about ssh. The Host type is the glue between the sshd and chat pieces.
Readme
Custom SSH server written in Go. Instead of a shell, you get a chat prompt.
Join the party:
$ ssh ssh.chat
Please abide by our project's Code of Conduct while participating in chat.
The server's RSA key fingerprint is MD5:e5:d5:d1:75:90:38:42:f6:c7:03:d7:d0:56:7d:6a:db or SHA256:HQDLlZsXL3t0lV5CHM0OXeZ5O6PcfHuzkS8cRbbTLBI. If you see something different, you might be MITM'd.
(Apologies if the server is down, try again shortly.)
Recent releases include builds for MacOS (darwin/amd64) and Linux (386, amd64, and ARM6 for your RaspberryPi).
Grab the latest binary release here.
Play around with it. Additional deploy examples are here.
Most people just want the latest binary release. If you're sure you want to compile it from source, read on:
You can compile ssh-chat by using make build. The resulting binary is portable and
can be run on any system with a similar OS and CPU arch. Go 1.8 or higher is required to compile.
If you're developing on this repo, there is a handy Makefile that should set
things up with make run.
Additionally, make debug runs the server with an http pprof server. This allows you to open
http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/ and view profiling data. See
net/http/pprof for more information about pprof.
Usage:
ssh-chat [OPTIONS]
Application Options:
-v, --verbose Show verbose logging.
--version Print version and exit.
-i, --identity= Private key to identify server with. (default: ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
--bind= Host and port to listen on. (default: 0.0.0.0:2022)
--admin= File of public keys who are admins.
--whitelist= Optional file of public keys who are allowed to connect.
--motd= Optional Message of the Day file.
--log= Write chat log to this file.
--pprof= Enable pprof http server for profiling.
Help Options:
-h, --help Show this help message
After doing go get github.com/shazow/ssh-chat/... on this repo, you should be able
to run a command like:
$ ssh-chat --verbose --bind ":22" --identity ~/.ssh/id_dsa
To bind on port 22, you'll need to make sure it's free (move any other ssh daemons to another port) and run ssh-chat as root (or with sudo).
