Open Source Perl SSH Software

PAC is a Perl/GTK replacement for SecureCRT/Putty/etc (linux ssh/telnet/... gui)... It provides a GUI to configure connections: users, passwords, EXPECT regular expressions, macros, etc. You like 'SecureCRT/SSHMenu'? Check this tool and let me know

FuTTY is a fork of PuTTY and PuTTYTray.

Ballast is a tool for balancing user load across SSH servers that supports user-specific policies as well as traditional policies based on metrics such as CPU load. It includes a simple client, a lightweight data server, and a data collection agent.

Shift is a lightweight framework for high performance local and remote file transfers that provides resiliency across a wide variety of failure scenarios through various techniques. These include end-to-end integrity via cryptographic hashes, throttling of transfers to prevent resource exhaustion, balancing transfers across resources based on load and availability, and parallelization of transfers across multiple source and destination hosts for increased redundancy and performance.

BASSHFS is similar to the existing SSHFS utility except it is does not require FUSE kernel support. Instead, BASSHFS uses the aliasing and function mechanisms of the bash shell to intercept program invocations and remap those that are supported to its own versions.

Compassh is an helper for the popular OpenSSH remote connection software, focused on providing near-VPN service without the complexity and the setup required by a real VPN. Using a VPN software may require an ad-hoc firewall setup, the generation of a key (pair) and the installation of the VPN software on a host that is not under your control. Compassh try to solve as much of this problems with a smart use of OpenSSH.

FullAuto is a groundbreaking secure programming framework that enables FULL API access to any number of simultaneous persistent SSH and SFTP connections to remote resources and devices. With FullAuto, connections are PERSISTANT enabling state preservation of file system navigations, environment manipulations, and user context shifting. Output and error messages from remote commands are returned accurately from both STDOUT and STDERR channels. With FullAuto persisent SSH/SFTP connections, automated processes can be DYNAMIC, intelligent and responsive - precisely in the same manner that highly trained professionals work with SSH/SFTP tools, to perform countless tasks manually. FullAuto works with the naked protocol, and connects directly with ordinary SSH/SFTP servers that already exist on nearly every UNIX platform, and many Windows and MAC systems. NO OTHER REMOTE SOFTWARE IS NEEDED. FullAuto is written entirely in Perl and has been tested on Linux, UNIX and Windows with Cygwin.

Lomalarga is a port forwarding (VPN-like) service based on SSH & Linux. Based entirely on open source. The client is written in C# and the administration is based on Linux/lighttpd/PostgreSQL/PHP, with the UI written with Google Web Toolkit.

Mesh is a secure, lightweight grid middleware that is based on the addition of a single sign-on capability to the built-in public key authentication mechanism of SSH using system call interposition.

The SFGW is an event triggered store-and-forward "file relay" proxy. This provides routing and protocol transition transparency, application and security integration, scripting extensibility, minimized administration, and greater end-user control.

ssh_ninja will watch the secure or auth log file depending on distribution for a configured number of login attempts to accounts and issue an IPTables drop statement to block and IP
