stel(1) is intented 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 desing, 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.
