injectorshell

Included in the original ssh-mitm suit this is a detailed documentation by its creator.

The injectorshell ssh interface allows the operator of the ssh-mitm server to serve out shell access over the network that correspond to a hijacked ssh session. Within these injected shells one is able to execute commands on the remote host using the ssh session created by the original client. Contrary to the mirrorshell there can be multiple injected shells per ssh session. All these shells - including the client itself - share their environment but are served answers individually.

Using the --ssh-injector-enable-mirror option injected shells can print the input of the user to their screen. This differs from the mirrorshell which always displays output on the injected as well as the clients shell. The injectorshell tries its best to not leak any unwanted output to the users session so that they can operate normally.

By default injector shell access is limited to the local maschine localhost but can be opened up to any network using the --ssh-injector-net NET/IF parameter. Due to the fact that access to the injector shells is not authenticated doing this should be thoroughly thought through.

For ease of use a private key can be used for a more consistent integrity check. It can be set with the --ssh-injector-key ID parameter. If this is not done a new one will be generated each time the server is spun up.

Note

It should also be noted that shell environment can be affected by any injector shell and is not accounted for when considering stealth. This means environment variables or the working directory for example can be changed by any injector shell and will alert the original shells owner of faulty operation.

Important

It is also important to mention that when multiple injector shells are inserting commands into the same hijacked ssh session at the same time discrepancies are not accounted for. Keystrokes are collectively merged at the server and the responses are served accordingly. This is also true for the clients interactive ssh session. A advanced edition of the injectorshell - the stealthshell - fixes both these problems.
