Looks very interesting. I was hoping it would solve a problem I’ve had recently: I want to ssh into a windows box that I only have a normal user account on. So I can’t (and don’t want to) change any admin settings or install anything as admin. All the obvious approaches hit roadblocks. Seems like this tool solves the opposite problem: sshing out from a minimally privledged environment.

You can start your own ssh daemon from the unprivileged account pointing to a random port.

Ya, you would think so. But when you connect to it and sshd tries to fork a process to handle the session… you get a privileges error.

- 0.0.1 -> improvements - 0.1.0 -> breaking changes - 1.0.0 -> overhaul/refactor needed I know not every case is easy but this is my rule of thumb. I've honestly never needed a major version change

0.0.1 - I fixed a bug 0.1.0 - I rearchitected the bug 1.0.0 - The bug is integral to the codebase.

I agree, the initial set of releases were all over the place. I took the feedback from this thread and fed it to Claude along with the semver.org references that were linked here for more detailed (and pedantic) context. Makes way more sense now. Thanks for the feedback! Claude handled the cleanup. Here's the updated releases: https://github.com/derekg/ts-ssh/releases

Somewhat off topic question but I ask this from time to time and maybe now is that time. Has AI started fixing everyone's software bugs and closing out all the CVE's yet?

I saw a youtube video of a few CVE's being closed out by some automated AI bot they were talking about recently i can't remember the channel sorry :(

That said coderabbit's pretty damn impressive for just generally reviewing PR's and catching shit for human review.
