I love figlet! I use it to generate the ssh banner in every server I set up. Not just for the l33t factor ;) but also to quickly confirm visually which host I'm connecting to (specially when multi-hopping, where you can see the whole chain of hosts). It works not only with pure ssh, but also with tools working on top of it (scp, rsync, port forwarding... I'm not sure if even sshfs).
- lgvld 4y agoSame here! I feel "at home" when I set a more personnal banner. ;-) Still I did not know figlet was a thing: I hitherto used the Text to ASCII Art Generator (from patorjk.com) to do so. So thank you for posting this. Obviously a CLI tool had to exist, but I never thought about it.
