tnaegap-hss

ssh-agent proxy for Windows applications that only speak Pageant

The pageant.exe implementation that comes with PuTTY has a very limited implementation of the agent protocol. To work around this, I wrote this small agent which allows Windows applications to use the regular OpenSSH ssh-agent instead of Pageant. This enables the usage of many new ciphersuites, SSH certificates, and more.

Installation

From a binary release

# Cygwin only, for now
wget -O /bin/tnaegap-hss.exe https://github.com/TvdW/tnaegap-hss/releases/download/v0.0.1/tnaegap-hss.Cygwin.64-bit.exe
tnaegap-hss &

From source

git clone https://github.com/TvdW/tnaegap-hss
cd tnaegap-hss
make
./tnaegap-hss &

What's with the name?

reverse("ssh-pageant") = "tnaegap-hss". @cuviper built the exact inverse of what I needed already, and it's called ssh-pageant.
