Programming Lang: Python Description : Peer-to-peer terminal sharing SHell WIth Me lets a “host” share their terminal with a “guest” peer on another computer. This combines the cryptography of Magic Wormhole (via Fowl) and the terminal-sharing of tty-share into a secure, end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer terminal sharing application. The Host computer runs shwim by itself, producing a <magic-code>. The Guest computer runs shwim <magic-code>. You are now sharing a single terminal running on “host”. Beware: the guest can type, run commands, etc. so only do this with humans you would hand your local keyboard over to. The Host may pass --read-only to ignore input from the Guest. The ShWiM terminal UI running, showing a connection to the mailbox server, generated code but no peer yet Slightly Longer Explanation Once the two things happen (i.e. “shwim” on the host and “shwim ” on the guest), there is a secure tunnel between both computers. The host will decide a random port and run tty-share as a server; the guest will run tty-share as a client. On both computers, tty-share will be running as a subprocess with correct options to do networking via Magic Wormhole only. All raw-mode terminal I/O is forwarded to this tty-share process so things like curses etc work as expected. Once either side exits, the networking forwarding is done – there is no long-term credential sharing or any other network set preserved or altered on the “host” nor “guest” computers. ---- tty-share and wormhole are already in debian, this should be pretty easy to package.
