tryssh
is a command line SSH terminal tool with password guessing function.
It can use the SSH protocol to interactively log in to the server, or upload local files to the server or download remote files to the local location.
Of course, it can also manage the usernames, port numbers, passwords, and cached information of successfully logged-in servers for login attempts.
Attention! Do not use
tryssh
in a production environment!
- I prefer command-line tools and do not want to use graphical tools
- I have many servers with similar login information, but I don't want to input login details every time I log in
- I frequently use SSH terminal across multiple operating systems, but I haven't found a tool that allows me to maintain the same workflow across different OSes
- I haven't used
tryssh
before, but it looks good, and I want to give it a try
Currently, tryssh
is in the stage of feature completion. The core functionalities are already implemented, but there is room for improvement in terms of details, particularly in areas such as security.
Currently, only one person Driver-C is involved in the development, and the progress is limited by the need to allocate time from other work responsibilities. Therefore, the development progress is not expected to be fast.
If you encounter any usage issues or have any suggestions, please submit an issue
. We will respond as soon as possible.
Currently, the project only maintains the master
branch for releasing stable versions, and tags
are created from the master
branch as well.

The "create"
command of tryssh
is used to create various configurations for password guessing login, such as usernames, port numbers, and passwords. It can also directly create caches with known usernames, port numbers, and passwords.

The "delete"
command of tryssh
is used to delete various configurations for password guessing login, such as usernames, port numbers, and passwords. It can also directly delete caches.
$ tryssh delete -h
Delete alternative username, port number, password, and login cache information
Usage:
tryssh delete [command]
Available Commands:
caches Delete an alternative cache
keys Delete a alternative key file path
passwords Delete an alternative password

Flags:
-h, --help help for delete
Use "tryssh delete [command] --help" for more information about a command.

tryssh delete users testuser
# Delete an alternative port: 22
tryssh delete ports 22
# Delete an alternative passwords: 123456
tryssh delete passwords 123456
# Delete the cache information about 192.168.1.1
tryssh delete caches 192.168.1.1
The "get"
command of tryssh
is used to view various configurations for password guessing login, such as usernames, port numbers, passwords, and login caches.
$ tryssh get -h
Get alternative username, port number, password, and login cache information
Usage:
tryssh get [command]
Available Commands:
caches Get alternative caches by ipAddress
passwords Get alternative passwords
ports Get alternative ports
users Get alternative usernames
Flags:
-h, --help help for get
Use "tryssh get [command] --help" for more information about a command.
# View candidate users for password guessing
tryssh get users
# View candidate ports for password guessing
tryssh get ports
# View the currently existing login caches
tryssh get caches
The "prune"
command of tryssh
is used to test whether the existing caches are still usable. If they are not, you can choose to delete the cache, or directly delete it without confirmation.
$ tryssh prune -h
Check if all current caches are available and clear the ones that are not available
Usage:
tryssh prune [flags]
Flags:
-a, --auto Automatically perform concurrent cache optimization without asking for confirmation to delete
-c, --concurrency int Number of multiple requests to perform at a time (default 8)
-h, --help help for prune
-t, --timeout duration SSH timeout when attempting to log in. It can be "1s" or "1m" or other duration (default 2s)
# Interactively conduct cache availability testing
tryssh prune
# Conduct non-interactive cache availability testing
tryssh prune -a
# Conduct non-interactive cache availability testing, while setting the concurrency to 10 (default is 8) and the connection timeout to 5 seconds (default is 2 seconds).
tryssh prune -c 10 -t 5s -a
The setting for concurrency is invalid in interactive mode.
The "alias"
command of tryssh
is used to assign aliases to existing caches, making it convenient to use these aliases directly for login or file transfer operations.
$ tryssh alias -h
Set, unset, and list aliases, aliases can be used to log in to servers
Usage:

tryssh alias list
# Set an alias named 'host1' for the server with the IP address 192.168.1.1
tryssh alias set host1 -t 192.168.1.1
# Remove the alias named 'host1'
tryssh alias unset host1
The "ssh"
command of tryssh
is used for password guessing login to a server. Upon successfully obtaining the correct login information, it will cache these details for direct login in future attempts, without the need to guess the password again.
chenjingyu@MacBook ~ % tryssh ssh -h
