ridter/tshtun

This project, tshtun, recreates the communication method used by a tool called tsh, which lets one computer remotely control another through a command-line interface. Specifically, it focuses on handling the encrypted traffic between the two machines so that the commands and responses stay hidden while traveling across the network. At a high level, the project pairs a small C program with Python scripts. The C program, compiled from shell.c, runs on the target machine and provides the interactive command line. The Python side, found in the libs folder, manages the process of encrypting and decrypting the data that flows back and forth. This separation lets the author write the traffic-handling logic in Python while keeping the on-target component lightweight in C. Security researchers and penetration testers are the likely audience here. When assessing a network, they often need to demonstrate that they can run commands on a remote machine and that those commands can't be easily spotted or read by network monitoring tools. This project gives them a working example of how that encrypted command-and-control channel looks under the hood, built on the design of the well-known tsh utility. The README is quite sparse and doesn't document setup steps, configuration, or usage instructions beyond pointing to the source files and referencing two upstream tsh projects. Anyone using it would need to read the code itself to understand how to compile the C client and run the Python components.
