No, there hasn’t been any new vulnerability found in SSH, nor am I denying the usefulness of SSH as a building block in the dev toolchain. This article is about why you shouldn’t be (and how you can avoid) using raw SSH sessions for development work.

In summary, how the author discovered screen, tmux, etc.

Occasionally an SSH session times out or somehow freezes. Often this leaves the terminal window in a frozen state, requiring a forced closure.

Except a forced closure might not be needed. There is a built-in SSH escape trigger.

Press the ~ (tilde) key. Notice that the ~ won’t appear on screen when the character is the very first character typed. The character prints on screen normally when not the first character.

In a world of evolving and targeted cyber threats understanding your attacker’s intentions and tools has never been more crucial. By deliberately maintaining vulnerable systems, or Honey Pots, and letting the attackers in you can analyse their activity and gather intelligence so you can be ahead of the game if you ever have a compromise. When running an SSH Honey Pot you can gain a full log of the commands an attacker attempts to run on your system and any files which they attempt to download and can be a great way to obtain samples of malicious software for analysis or understand the techniques used by an attacker to scour your data.

Here are some tricks for using SSH through a proxy or bastion quickly.

Corkscrew is a tool for tunneling SSH through HTTP proxies, but... you might find another use for it.

Locally mount a remote file-system through SSH and access files and directory as they would be on the local machine.

SSHTron is a multiplayer Tron game through SSH in your terminal.

Mobile shell that supports roaming and intelligent local echo. Like SSH secure shell, but allows mobility and more responsive and robust.

zssh (Zmodem SSH) is a program for interactively transferring files to a remote machine while using the secure shell (ssh). It is intended to be a convenient alternative to scp , allowing to transfer files without having to open another session and re-authenticate oneself.

zssh is an interactive wrapper for ssh used to switch the ssh connection between the remote shell and file transfers. This is achieved by using another tty/pty pair between the user and the local ssh process to plug either the user's tty (remote shell mode) or another process (file transfer mode) on the ssh connection.
