"Use BIOS ram hacks to make a SSH server out of any INT 10 13h app (MS-DOS is one of those)" would like to know how this is achieved.

    Right. Most projects offer a little info in the readme. Looks like it's just a few hundred lines of go, with zero documentation.

      Isn't the point of open source for people to contribute and improve the projects? Edit: Well isn't it?

        Right, but before anyone will dedicate any serious amount of time to something, it'd be nice to know what exactly it is first.

  As I understand from looking at the code, there is a VNC server and a GDB server "running" on the machine already. These are probably provided by a virtual machine. VMware and Bochs both seem to support GDB-like debugging to some extent, and remote access through the VNC protocol. This package simply queries the screen via GDB, sends it off to SSH connections, and sends any keystrokes via VNC to the DOS machine. From the title I thought the SSH server runs directly on the DOS box, but as I understand, no Go code actually runs on the DOS machine.

    thank you. So you would need to be running DOS under windows, it wouldn't work on bare metal.
    • benjojo12 12y ago
      Correct, However (when I get around to tearing out the VNC dependency) you could use this to SSHerize bare metal machines (using gPXE's GDB stack)
