Is ssh2dos anywhere near usable these days, without running decades-old opensshd on the server end? :D

    @ltning someone did a fork with sha256, the screenshot is undoctored! It really is natively connecting to a fedora 42 system.

    The only config change was to allow password auth!

        Yea sorry, I thought that was the "old" code. I was thinking EC crypto, since that's much, much faster on slow hardware. It surprised me a bit when I started experimenting, but given the much shorter keys it actually makes some sense.
        See https://git.anduin.net/ltning/sshbench - I have not tested on anything slower than a crappy 486 (because no modern BSD will work on any of them) but EC ciphers generally come out on top every time - by a huge margin, too.

          @ltning Oh, that *is* interesting! Maybe I will try and implement EC ciphers then.

          It'd be really cool if this would work on a 286 or a 386, the code will run but how fast? I don't know yet! :D

            This is one of the boxes I tested SSH ciphers on. :D See http://larry.weirdr.net/ for the HW spec ..
