The main server is server.py
It handles client connections, reads their messages and sends them messages from the user

clients have tasks, such as

• reverse ssh
• live video
• software update
  these are executed in different subprocesses.

The reverse SSH Task requires a user account on the server called ssh_server Please make sure that it is not a sudo user and shell is disabled for the clients connecting for ssh to that user.

the server needs to have the public key of the clients
and the operator needs to know the username and the password for the clients (username is sent but the password will be predefined)
