5 unusual facts about Secure Shell


Darcs

Key features include the ability to choose which changes to accept from other repositories, interaction with either other local (on-disk) repositories or remote repositories via SSH, HTTP, or email, and an unusually interactive interface.

GNU arch

To simulate the behavior of centralized revision control systems, the head developer could allow shell access (SSH) or write access (FTP, SFTP, WebDAV) to a server, allowing authorized users to commit to a central server.

Kaseya Network Monitor

Security and data integrity is achieved by using the SSH 2.0 communication protocol.

The SSH 2.0 protocol encrypts data with public key algorithms and protects connections from man-in-the-middle attacks.

Pexec

The specified command or (a piece of) script can be executed on both local and remote host computers, in the case of remote execution, ssh is used to build a secure tunnel between the hosts.


KIO

KIO slaves are programs that provide support for individual protocols (e.g. HTTP, FTP, SMB, SSH, FISH, SFTP, SVN, TAR).

Monitorix

System services demand (including SSH, FTP, ProFTPD, Vsftpd, Pure-FTPd, Telnet, Samba, Fax, CUPS, Fail2ban, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, VirusMail and Spam, and supporting log files from xinetd, Sendmail, Postfix, Dovecot, UW-IMAP, Qpopper, HylaFAX, MailScanner and CommuniGate).

NicheStack TCP/IPv4

Also available to run on NicheStack are a number of security modules, including SSH, IPsec/IKE and SSL.

Pandora FMS

They run on any type of platform (Microsoft, AIX, Solaris, Linux, IPSO, Mac OS or FreeBSD), also SAP, because the agents can communicate with the Pandora FMS Servers to send data in XML using SSH, FTP, NFS, Tentacle (protocol) or any data transfer means.

Reverse DNS lookup

For example, encryption keys may be placed there for IPsec (RFC 4025), SSH (RFC 4255) and IKE (RFC 4322).

Taverna workbench

It can also invoke R statistical services, local Java code, external tools on remote machines (via ssh), do XPath and other text manipulation, import a spreadsheet and include sub-workflows.

TtyEmulator

TtyEmulator is a Freeware terminal emulator application which can act as a client for the SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw TCP computing protocols and as a serial console client.
