sshl - ssl/ssh multiplexer

What is it?

There is a funny little hack out there called sslh, which lets one accept both https and ssh connection on the same, one port. It lets me connect from inside my corporate proxy, which allows outbound connections on port 443, using Putty, while still being able to serve Web pages over https.

There are two problems with sslh:

• It's in Perl. That means it's pretty RAM hungry, and probably not very fast.
• It doesn't manage privilege dropping, which is rather questionnable.

The obvious solution to both problems was to re-implement it in C, because that's what geeks do.

Get it!

• sslh 1.3
  • Added parsing for local interface to listen on (e.g.: -p 192.168.0.3:443)
  • Changed default SSL connexion to port 442 (443 doesn't make sense as a default as we're already listening on 443)
  • Syslog incoming connexions
• sslh 1.2
  • Fixed compilation warning for AMD64.
• sslh 1.1
  
• sslh 1.0
