Are you thinking of something like the Blinkenlights Star Wars telnet demo from a while ago?
The "securing" part aside, ssh still gives you a whole terminal experience very similar to the telnet one & the ability to draw into it (like if you were using Emacs on the shell host).
You can set something like that up by forcing a command on ssh instead of a shell (like what github does for git).
- hultner 3y agoYeah I was thinking of something like that. But I still feel a bit uneasy with configuring OpenSSH securely, I’ve escaped such setups before, gaining full shell access through exploits. Maybe I’m overly paranoid.
- tinus_hn 3y agoNo you’re not, there are far too many unexplored interfaces. Then again many programs aren’t secure against untrusted input either.
