Python Telegram bot that enables an 'admin' Telegram user to remotely execute commands on the bot machine. Includes secure password-based token storage.
First install dependencies:
pip install cryptography python-telegram-bot
Then start the bot with
python3 main.py --verbose
You will be prompted to enter your bot's API token and a password to encrypt and save it. After that, all that is required to run the bot is the password you entered the first time. Alternatively, you can hard code an encryption password into main.py to avoid having to enter it every time.
Start a chat with this bot using your Telegram account and make note of the nine-digit user ID that the program prints at the console. Put this ID in main.py as the admin ID. You can now remotely execute commands by using the /exec command in Telegram. For example, try /exec ls to see what files are in the program's working directory.
