# 👻 TrollSSH
A fake SSH server that accepts any login and plays back video as colored
ASCII/Unicode art at whoever connects to it
![SSH Demo](assets/ssh.webp)
## Features
- **Accept any credentials**
- **Colored ASCII/Unicode video playback** - resized live to the client's
terminal, using a configurable character ramp, defaults to the Unicode block-character preset
- **Automatic color detection** - renders 24-bit truecolor, 256-color, or
plain grayscale depending on what the connecting client reports supporting
- **Multiple frame sets** - clients get a random one, arrow keys switch between
them (configurable)
- **Honeypot extras** - optional credential logging, per-IP and global
connection limits, handshake timeout, customizable banner / fake login /
goodbye text
## Quick start
Generate a frame set from a video through container image
```sh
docker run --rm -v ./video.mp4:/home/app/video.mp4 -v ./frames:/home/app/frames \
ghcr.io/yuzuzensai/trollssh:latest trollssh --generate --video video.mp4
```
This writes `frames/<name>.tsf`, a simple container of color JPEG frames plus
the source fps. You can drop as many `.tsf` files into `frames/` as you like.
The server loads all of them.
Run the server with [`docker-compose.yaml`](docker-compose.yaml)
```sh
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d
```
`./data` persists host keys and text assets.
`./frames` holds the `.tsf` frame sets.
Then try it:
```sh
ssh anyone@localhost
```
## Configuration
Configuration is via environment variables, loaded from a `.env` file if one
exists (see [`.env.example`](.env.example) for the full annotated list).
Durations are in milliseconds.
Host keys (`data/id_rsa`, `data/id_ed25519`) are generated on first run and
reused afterwards.
## Customization
Optional text files in `data/` (created next to the binary):
| File | Shown |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `data/banner.txt` | As the SSH banner, before authentication |
| `data/fakelogin.txt` | Right after "login", before playback |
| `data/goodbye.txt` | When the session ends after `MAX_LOOP` playthroughs |
## Development
Requirements: Go 1.25+ and `ffmpeg` / `ffprobe` on `PATH` (only for
`--generate`).
```sh
go run ./src --generate --video video.mp4
go run ./src
```
Or build a binary:
```sh
go build -o trollssh ./src
./trollssh
```
CI runs the following checks on every push:
```sh
gofmt -l ./src # format
go vet ./src/... # vet
golangci-lint run ./src/... # lint, see https://golangci-lint.run
go test ./src/... # tests
```
To run them automatically before each commit, install
[lefthook](https://github.com/evilmartians/lefthook) and `golangci-lint`, then:
```sh
lefthook install
```
