Another security hole of PuTTY is downloads being served over non-SSL. I should know better and check the sigs using PGP and checksums, but on Windows this is such a drag that I just end up whispering hallelujah praise the Lord, and hoping for the best. I know it's my fault, but I'd still like SSL :(

> but on Windows this is such a drag that Get the keybase.io client, it sets up your GPG pretty nicely. I was able to confirm the downloads on Windows using the standard ``gpg --verify putty.DSA.asc`` and it just worked(tm) in a cmd.exe window.

No disrespect to PuTTY, but I just found myself not really needing it anymore.
I found it very useful for connecting to vagrant boxes.

You can get SSH natively in the DOS command prompt by installing http://www.mls-software.com/opensshd.html I found it very useful for connecting to vagrant boxes.
