v1.1
ece8094

Switched default password delivery to SSH_ASKPASS; redesigned terminal output with pinned counters.

Added

  • SSH_ASKPASS method for passing passwords to SSH
  • -s/--sshpass flag to use sshpass instead of SSH_ASKPASS
  • ASCII banner in --help (version watermark) and --version (copyright info)
  • print_attack_config prints Target, SSH method, parallel jobs, delay, timeout, and retries before pre-flight
  • Resume stats block shows Users, Passwords, Combinations, and Previously tried before Starting attack...
  • Passwords tried and Passwords remaining lines pinned after Starting attack... via ANSI DSR; update live
  • Cursor hidden during attack (\033[?25l), restored on teardown
  • EXIT trap resets scroll region and restores cursor unconditionally on any exit
  • Both username and password file errors reported together before exiting
  • RETRY_SLEEP (0.05s, retry backoff) and POLL_SLEEP (0.05s, job-slot polling) constants
  • OpenSSH version check at startup: exits with an error if the client is older than 8.4 when using default SSH_ASKPASS mode
  • SSH exit 255 disambiguated via stderr: Permission denied = auth failure, else connection error
  • -o NumberOfPasswordPrompts=1 added to SSH_ASKPASS calls to fail fast on bad passwords

Changed

  • wait_for_job_slot replaced jobs -rp | wc -l with ${#CHILD_PIDS[@]} (no forked subshells)
  • format_number writes into a named variable via printf -v; inline duplicates removed
  • Default SSH password delivery method is now SSH_ASKPASS
  • -l/--list column width calculated dynamically from catalog content
  • Startup counts (Users, Passwords, Combinations) shown as separate labeled lines before Starting attack...
  • Help text no longer shown after error messages
  • maxusercount/maxpasscount set once in restore_progress; duplicate grep -c calls removed
  • Retry backoff sleep uses fixed RETRY_SLEEP (0.05s) instead of ${delay}; retry frequency is now independent of --delay
  • Script moved to src/getsshpass.sh

Fixed

  • check_ssh_connection sshpass path: exit 3 now treated as connection error (was: fell through to "Connection successful")
