Introduction

This is a docker container to build an ssh jump host that records login sessions in order to replay them live or later on. It is based on general ssh hopping dtgilles/sshgw.

How to use it

• in general:

  • you SHOULD activate ssh agent forwarding by setting environment variable

       SSHD_OPTS="-o AllowAgentForwarding=yes"
    

  • you SHOULD NOT activate tcp or x11 forwarding (deactivated by default)

  • you SHOULD review folloging variables:

    • CheckScriptSeconds: interval to check / handle script logs
    • PossibleScripts: number of prepared script logs
    • LoginScriptLogDir: location of persistent session protocolls (this should be a persistent mount)
    • if you set ScriptShell=/bin/rbash (this forces "script" to invoke commands restricted), you may also change:
      • DefaultRbashCommands: change list of default commands available in rbash (not recommended)
      • RbashCommands: define some additional rbash commands (e.g. more, less, tar, scp, mysql, curl, ...)
      • ZipLogs: {yes|no} controls if script logs are compressed on the fly (default=no)

  • you SHOULD set following variables (see dtgilles/sshgw), e.g.:

        UserDir=/data/user
        HostKeys=/data/sshd
    

  • you COULD set variable SleepyTask to update user + keys or cleanup script-logs

• for each login user you...:
  • ...should set command to "/usr/local/bin/script_login -u %u" in key_dir/_keyprefix
  • ...should persist keys in $Userdir/<user>/_keydir/<keyname>.pub
  • ...should not set login shell -- keep default (bash)
  • ...could allow agent forwarding
  • ...should neighter allow X11 forwarding nor PortForwarding
  • ...should review the script-logs regularly / ideally monitor them
