WebShell 0.9.6 (C) 2007 by Marc S. Ressl Released under the GPL 2.0 http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mressl/webshell


WebShell is a web-based ssh shell.

It runs on any browser capable of JavaScript and AJAX. You can use it from any computer or iPhone/smartphone.

The server is written in Python and is very easy to set up on Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, Solaris, and any Unix that runs python 2.3.

WebShell is based on Ajaxterm.

If you have any questions, use the forum on the website.


Features

VT100, ECMA-48 terminal emulation Integrated secure http server UTF-8, with chinese/japanese wide glyph support Virtual keyboard for iPhone users Changeable appearance Compliant with vttest

Planned Features

VT52 terminal emulation

Security

WebShell communications are as secure as a regular secure shell, as both ssh and WebShell are on top of the SSL/TLS layer.

The code has been tested against buffer overflow and denial of service. If you find any problem, please report it on the webpage.


Installation

It is very easy to set up WebShell.

First, you need to make sure python 2.3 or later and OpenSSL are installed on your system. You will also have to install the pyOpenSSL python extensions to OpenSSL.

Next, you need to generate a server certificate. From the WebShell directory enter this command to quickly generate a certificate:

./make_certificate.sh

Now issue this command to run the server:

./webshell.py

To make sure that everything went well, go to this URL in your browser:

https://127.0.0.1:8022

You can change WebShell's background by overwriting the background.jpg file. You can also change the display colors in webshell.css. Restart the server afterwards to make your changes effective.

Voila, enjoy WebShell.
