Project mention: Ask HN: What CLI Apps? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-13

[Windows only]

I recently discovered Cmder:

https://cmder.app/

It's a portable console emulator and gives you the ability to "place your own executable files into the bin folder to be injected into your PATH" when it's run.

So far I've added:

jq

• yubikey-agent

  15 2,571 0.0 Go

  yubikey-agent is a seamless ssh-agent for YubiKeys.

Project mention: Show HN: SSH-tpm-agent – SSH agent for TPMs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-29

This is a great idea. I now exclusively use SSH keys on hardware security modules of some kind. I use "Secretive", a mac app that does the same, plus a yubikey using yubikey-agent (https://github.com/FiloSottile/yubikey-agent; there are too many complicated ways to use SSH keys with a yubikey this is one of the friendliest ones). Depending on the security and frequency of which I access the service impacts whether I need presence confirmation or use secretive versus the yubikey.

I would be remiss to mention there are existing SSH TPM projects, not sure how this one differentiates. It seems to at least have the user experience pretty simple, similar to yubikey-agent (and secretive), and unlike some of the existing solutions which have quite a few extra steps:

Project mention: Continuous Deployment with GitHub Actions and Kamal | dev.to | 2024-01-07

Once the image has been built and pushed, you only need to trigger the deployment using Kamal. We use the webfactory/ssh-agent to establish a connection to our production server. After installing the required Ruby dependencies, it’s only a matter of running Kamal. As the image is already built and pushed, we use the --skip-push flag.

• hashi-up

Project mention: Unix sockets, Cygwin, SSH agents, and sadness | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-29

If that project https://github.com/buptczq/WinCryptSSHAgent had a pin timeout, it would be the perfect Windows ssh agent. It support named pipe, pagent shared memory and a UNIX socket under WSL2 using Hyper-V and socat.

• ssh-tpm-agent

  :computer: :key: ssh-agent for TPMs

Project mention: An Excruciatingly Detailed Guide to SSH (But Only the Things I Find Useful) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-23

I've been hacking on `ssh-tpm-agent` which allows you to create or import TPM sealed keys. This is practical as it prevents key extraction and it has dictionary attack protection which allows you to have 4 digit pins instead of passphrases to protect your private keys.

https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent

Currently hacking up better support for `HostKeyAgent` and `HostKey` for `sshd`.

• winssh-pageant

I'm a student, and am looking for a good internship experience in the first half of 2024. I am currently a Google Summer of Code contributor at the Tor Project, and have contributed to Arti, the Rust rewrite of Tor in C, working beside the Arti devs.

I'm particularly interested in open source, computer networking and associated software. A while back I hacked around and built a peer to peer file transfer program to learn Rust, including the file transfer protocol too (you can check it out on https://github.com/gotlougit/p2p-file-transfer or on https://git.sr.ht/~gotlou/p2p-file-transfer). I did this mostly being inspired by Tailscale and also out of frustration of how getting uncompressed photos from friends was a mess.

I love learning new things and am a fast learner. Currently I am writing a more secure, drop-in SSH agent replacement (at https://github.com/gotlougit/sshield) which encrypts SSH keys and unlocks them with a master password, with planned features including using Linux sandboxing mechanisms such as Landlock or seccomp-bpf to make the agent process less prone to RCEs.
