stel(1) is intended to be a simple and practical plug and play solution
|
|
|
|
|
for logging into a remote system or executing commands on a remote
|
|
|
|
|
system. stel offers a variety of features which range from mutual
|
|
|
|
|
authentication to file transfer. The security of stel relies upon the
|
|
|
|
|
underlying cryptographic design, not trusting the net in any way. If no
|
|
|
|
|
options are provided, stel defaults to triple DES encryption, 1024-bits
|
|
|
|
|
Diffie-Hellman modulus, no protection from active attacks, and the
|
|
|
|
|
remote system user's shell as the command to be executed on the remote
|
|
|
|
|
system. This should be reasonable for most systems, and it is believed
|
|
|
|
|
to be a good compromise between speed, ease of use and security.
