Use SSH in browser

I found a node module called ssh2. It is possible to bundle node js via browserify/webpack, however there seems to be an issue with something called the crypto module. I found a repo discussing this, but I cannot point out if there is a working solution for this problem.

Rickroll in your Terminal over SSH/Telnet
2 projects | /r/linux | 24 Jun 2021

This was a fun little hack I wrote in NodeJS. I used the video-to-ascii project to output the Rickroll MP4 as a series of ASCII characters (it actually outputs a nice bash script). Then I wrote a small TCP server (for telnet) in NodeJS to simply pipe the output of the video bash script right to your telnet client! To add SSH support, I used the Node ssh2 library to create a simple SSH Server that is just piped to the telnet server (basically a proxy).
