Are we coordinating factions here, like the original r/place? The social aspect was such a big part of the original. I'll start:
# PURPLE FRAME #
Our mission is to draw a purple frame around the canvas. 2 rows of blank space between the frame and the top/bottom of the canvas. 4 cols of blank space between the frame and the left/right of the canvas.

I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this. On one hand, we could just do it here but then I can't link people to this page or it'll harm the post. I could also just use a subreddit or make a forum on https://ssh.place

The organicness of the original was really fun. Dunno if coordinating here really fits the HN vibe, but also go where the people are.

I'm just wondering what to do when this post dies down. Then I guess I could link to it... It's not like it's going to go back to the front page anyways

Hey, is it not just a simple honeypot reverse hack ssh server?
People understand that reverse hacking can happen when connecting to random ssh server, right?

No, actually, I've never heard of such a vector. How would that work?

An ssh server would exploit a vulnerability in the ssh client when it connects.
For example, openssh has both a client and server. There’s been vulnerabilities in openssh, in the client. Those vulnerabilities aren’t reachable unless you’re connecting to a server attempting to exploit you, so the risk is quite low because you know and trust most servers you’re connecting to with ssh.
To sum it up: Connecting to this server is probably fine, but in doing so most people are doing something significantly riskier without realizing it.

Vulnerability in your ssh client (unlikely) or terminal emulator (more common but lower reach).

Is that more likely than getting hacked when visiting a website?
jolmgan hour ago
Visiting a random website is the normal use of HTTP. With SSH, there might be assumptions of connecting to a trusted server you have an account with and likely own. It's not very normal to ssh to a random server.

What exactly is the mechanism by which you think that an SSH RCE is "simple"?

Not OP, but agent forwarding is a significant concern.

Nice, I first saw this on Hack Club ;) Check your terminal to see if it supports certain colours, on mine the darker and lighter colours (eg. maroon/red, purple/magenta) look identical.

This sounds like a recipe for bots that bypass the cooldown...

I also have limits for IP and device + some other factors :) The full details are in the README on GitHub. But also I don't expect too many people to find this, it's one of my first public projects. If we do get a surge of people then I'll implement something better.

I love ssh apps! See also late.sh, and my own https://shellbox.dev

Mine is hard to get to(ip6 only) but was started around the idea of a shared postgres database.
The web page https://www.public.outband.net hosted on the same box, if you can see it you have the needed ip6.
No users yet but feel free to try it out.

Shellbox looks really cool! I love the proliferation of ssh apps lately… Ever since I saw the terminal coffee I’ve been inspired. I’ve been working on https://billard.sh myself for a bit.

Shellbox is so sick!!! I'm going to look into implementing it into a project I'm working on.

Yes, storage and memory/processes. It is basically suspended, not running

So cool! If I wanted to make a similar product, how should I do it? Do you have any advice or research directions? I saw a company using SSH for hiring a couple of days ago, and I thought it was really cool. I also want to build something similar.
jeninhop3 hours ago
I'm going to be so honest, I don't have much advice for you. I'm a teenager who's part of Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) who made this entirely for fun.
I was inspired by @zachlatta's SSHtron (https://github.com/zachlatta/sshtron) and wanted to make an SSH game. I loved how easy it was for him to promote it too, he made a HN post with title "ssh sshtron.zachlatta.com" because it gets people to try out the actual game rather than look at a README. If you have a business, find something useful that would help! Or in my case, find something fun you want to make/remake to be used in the terminal over SSH. Hack Club also used to have a hiring page over SSH, if I recall correctly.
My code uses wish, bubbletea and lipgloss from Charm. You can look at the code over at https://github.com/jeninh/ssh.place
Good luck!

Time for your regular reminder that ssh has no PKI and is trivial to mitm during tofu.
kroan hour ago
I understand that most people don't use it and indeed rely on tofu, but the statement is not absolutely correct.
ssh server keys can be authenticated using (the DNSSEC "CA" system and) SSHFP, and it's possible to setup a signing CA for the host key (similar to ssh certificates, however not applicable for foreign servers). And of course, the fingerprint could be advertised out of band e.g. on the homepage with tls
pzacikan hour ago
Yes, but what exactly would an attacker achieve by doing mitm here?
