WORKED

After the upgrade, OpenSSH was alive and ready.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Replacing DropBear as the SSH server on OpenWRT, supporting hardware-backed (sk) keys.

MIXED

even the Matrix had Trinity hacking into a server using a OpenSSH exploit on a black and white terminal.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Hacking into a server (as depicted in a movie scene)

It's very difficult to reason about, for instance compare the OpenSSH sshd sandbox implementations. With Capsicum, beyond faffing around with some file descriptors, it's unclear what security cap_enter() adds.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Comparing the security and complexity of its sandbox implementations (Capsicum vs. seccomp).

WORKED

Teleport is designed in such a way that you can use plain old OpenSSH everywhere, but you can also use it as a web app and get cool features like live collaboration with chats and recordings.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Used as the underlying SSH client/server protocol, compatible with Teleport's authentication layer.

FAILED

OpenSSH is unreasonable in refusing to do this. It's pretty reasonable to not support exposure of the password like that.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Secure copy (scp) and SSH access
