TelnetSim : an opensource telnet console over HTTP
What is TelnetSim:
- It's a perl script that gives you a shell access to your server though you don't have telnet or ssh enabled.
- With TelnetSim you will have a console simulation available in your browser.
What for :
- This script can be very useful if you have a webserver in a shared hosting place and that telnet or SSH is not available.
How does it work:
- The script allows to take control over the remote host via the perl "system" command.From here we can launch any command, given in the HTML form, under the name of the user under which the script is served. (could be "nobody" or any other user depending on your configuration).
- The results of the remote shell are HTML formatted so that they appear in the browser.
- See the source file for more comments.
Requirements:
- The only requirement is that your web server should have Perl scripts enabled.
ScreenShots:
Online Demo :
- Click here for demo of a light version of TelnetSim (light for security purpose).
As you will see it's almost like if you were on a remote console.
Install the source script :
- Just copy this script to your webserver and follow instructions in the source itself.
If you don't know how to create a .htacess/htpasswd, have a look here.
- Note : I strongly recommand that you change its name (will protect you against script kiddies and G..gle!).
