secured-websocket-shell

Standalone and secured version of websocket-shell-service project

Create an SSH-like server which lets clients open shells through websockets

# in the cloned directory launch the following command 
npm link

# the /usr/bin/wss-shell command is added
# Start the server on the default port (8080)
wss-shell

# Start the server with a custom port / ssl information
Usage: wss-shell [options]

Options:
  --version   Show version number                                      [boolean]
  --port      Port                                               [default: 8080]
  --ssl       SSL by default. Use --no-ssl if unsecured wanted.  [default: true]
  --ssl_key   filepath to ssl key                                [default: null]
  --ssl_cert  filepath to ssl certificate                        [default: null]
  -h, --help  Show help                                                [boolean]

How it works:

• Sets up a websocket server bound to localhost:8080
• Pipes incoming websocket connections to shells using node-pty
