vB Telnet/ SSH Web Shell in Admin CP
 

vB Telnet/ SSH Web Shell by Dr Erwin Loh version 1.0

This allows you Telnet/ SSH Shell access via your vB 3.x.x Admin CP.
This is very useful if you are somewhere where you cannot get Telnet or SSH shell access, or you are behind a firewall.

Installation (full instructions in Install.txt in ZIP file):

1) Set a second layer of popup usernames and passwords for added security.
2) Upload "ssh.php" to your /admincp folder.

3) Make a link to the SSH shell in your Admin CP.

Finish!

Once this is installed, you can just click on the "vB SSH/ Telnet" link in your Admin CP on the left column underneath your "vBulletin Options" to access this.


Enjoy! :)

Excuse the profanity, but OMFG - what a treat it is to see you at work!

Thanks for this one!

Excellant !!!

Magnificant! ;)
I will install this asap.

But ... might this be a great security leak? Can you user "su" to becom root? :ninja:

If they know the su password, they don't need to login through the admincp first :D They can login remote anyway through different means.

Wow, great hack. How do you do it. I've been looking for this actually, since I'm behind a firewall.

Thanks a lot. :)

Can this be used outside of vB?

Erwin.. I have tried to use web based ssh clients before and have not been able to use them when I was behind a firewall.. Is all of the port 22 data handled by the admin CP from within the server, or is the browser from the client-side actually trying to connect to port 22??

Wow :)

You have so much time to release Hacks, you would have had enough time to stay here as admin ;)

it seems to log in as nobody on the server, is it possible to log in as my user?

I'm of course not allowed to run 'su'
