Hello.

Would it be possible to get an update on the status of this project? Is it done? Is there something lacking to remove the beta label?

It seems to be the encouraged method for ssh agent forwarding when using mosh, do you know if this is still the case?

Guardian Agent was written as part of an academic project, which has been completed, so I'm not currently actively maintaining it. It is done, but since it has never undergone a thorough security review, the beta label serves mostly as a warning.

Thank you for the quick reply Dima. I hope this isn't an annoying question, but is there any related works or other similar projects that you're aware of, maybe that you use or recommend, or is guardian-agent fairly unique?

Cheers!

I guess that despite the beta status, I think that I would still recommend using Guardian Agent as it is better than insecure agent forwarding.
