Web PuTTY (POC)

A tiny proof-of-concept web-based SSH client using xterm.js (frontend) and ssh2 + ws (backend).

Run locally

1. Install Node.js (16+ recommended)
2. npm install
3. node server.js
4. Open http://localhost:3000 and try connecting to an SSH server.

Notes & Security

• This is a proof-of-concept only.
• Do NOT expose this publically without:
  • HTTPS + secure cookies
  • Authentication (login for users)
  • CSRF protection / rate limiting
  • Avoid accepting raw passwords from untrusted clients — prefer ephemeral tokens or server-side credentials.
• For production consider solutions like SSH bastion, per-session credentials, logging, auditing.
