revterm

A set of scripts to provide a stub terminal based on reverse connection using socat.

Components

• revterm_client: A stub terminal which runs a given command line inside a pseudoterminal and forwards streams to the revterm_server.
• revterm_server: A server that listens on a port forever, through which we can control the revterm_client in a fully interactive TTY session.
• revterm_killserver: A utility script to terminate the revterm_server (as it cannot be terminated by pressing Ctrl-C).
• revconn_server: A server that listens on a port forever, through which we can interact with the socket stream (like an infinite nc -vvlp).

Installation

Clone this repository and install with install.sh (make sure you have socat installed).
