Nope! doesn't work. One of the greatest benefits of using Linux is not having to use Windows So you don't get all the benefits of linux by using in a VM in Windows...

...or you could just not be a faggot and dual boot?

[Bish0pQ]

What makes Linux great is 1 part the tools (including GNU), 1 part the kernel (Unix, POSIX and various Linux-spesific extensions like epoll), and 1 part freedom (from Windows). A VM gives you 2/3.

I'm not a purist. Some people want or need Windows, for one reason or another. I run Linux on all my computers (ditched Windows completely when Steam entered beta on Linux), and only occasionally fire up a Windows VM when Wine fails me, but I realize my way is not for everyone.

Sorry for a serious reply to a tongue-in-cheek comment!

I think that the safety and the open-sourceness (don't know how to describe) is great about Linux too.

I don't think anything that isn't open source can ever be "free", which is what I meant by freedom.
Open source also has the added benefit of more eyeballs analysing the code, which makes for more secure software.

I partially disagree with this statement. On large projects, sure - there's more people looking at it cause they are working on it. But smaller ones? naw... not so much. Most people - even open source users - don't study the code they're going to compile. So you've only got the developer(s) and maybe a couple people interested in security. and who's to say those people looking for vulns are honest.

And how many of these open source communities actually do security audits specifically ? just hoping that there are people checking your code for vulns and issues and that they don't have unethical motives... is far different than say adobe or microsoft or apple or whatever paying 50 people to go over their code with a fine toothcomb. I don't know but I think regular security audits done by professionals in the interest of the business is better than leaving vulns to be found by a community member by chance.

I agree that most users don't check the code, it's usually just the developers working on it. I also agree that having dishonest users checking the code for vulnerabilities to exploit does impose a risk.
However, I do not trust most companies to do their own code audits. Medium and small size companies often don't even think about it, or can't even afford it. Security is far too often an afterthought, or outright skipped due to time and cost. An open project in this category instils me with a lot more confidence than a closed one, especially an open one with a bug bounty program that gives honest independent researchers a reason to actually take a look.

You're fighting a losing battle, nothing you say will win against the linux elite.

Vouch.

Any SSH client would work, you could write a lightweight one in python and that would be fine.
It's not as if the protocol differs from program to program, it all gives you the same result.

Hey man, this thread is almost a year old, gravedigging is against the rules. Don't do it man

Also, I think this thread has been exhausted with what to do. Writing you're own SSH program would certainly be an interesting venture, however.

If you know how to do one, consider writing a tutorial becaues i'm interested haha. I love stuff like that -- just learning OS stuff by building shells, ISRs, etc. Eventually I hope to build my own OS. But an SSH client in python would certainly be intriguing

More than sufficient. Secure and simple.
