Strongthium Remote

0 reviews

Strongthium Remote is an SSH client for Windows that puts what you do on a server in tabs on one connection: a terminal, a file manager, an editor, a task manager for the server and a database client, with remote desktops beside them. The file manager runs on the terminal's own SSH connection, so there is no second program and no second sign-in, and with one box ticked it works as root through sudo while root never signs in. Open any file of the server in an editor that colors 27 languages and suggests the settings of nginx, sshd, systemd, php.ini and my.cnf files; saving writes it back in place with its owner and permissions kept. See what a Linux server is doing without typing top: its programs grouped and refreshed, processor, memory, every disk and the network at a glance, and every service with its state and its journal, started, stopped or restarted through sudo. The database client works with MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite, carried through the server's SSH session so the database port stays closed, and copies tables between different systems in one transaction. Also: scripts sent to a list of servers, imports from SecureCRT and Navicat, files dropped on the terminal sent by ZMODEM, a sync that shows its plan first, strict host key checking, modern cryptography, and RDP and VNC remote desktops in tabs (Pro). Free for three servers with no time limit; Pro is bought once per computer. SSH, SFTP, the terminal and VNC are its own code, with no third-party libraries.

Strongthium Guard

0 reviews

Strongthium Guard keeps every door of your Linux servers shut except the ones you open, and reads their logs to ban whoever keeps knocking, within seconds. It reads the SSH, web, mail and FTP logs as they are written: password guessing, probing and port scans are banned within a second or two, with no second tool to install. A first ban lasts an hour and each repeat multiplies it, up to thirty days. A log it does not know takes a parser of a dozen lines, tried on lines you paste before it is saved. Live activity puts every attack on a world map as it happens. Block or allow whole countries, or networks by their AS number, on every port or only the ones you name; the address data keeps itself up to date. Allow and deny lists for IPv4 and IPv6, temporary bans that are lifted on time, port knocking that keeps SSH invisible until a secret knock, flood limits, dynamic DNS names for home connections, AbuseIPDB reporting and blacklists, and Cloudflare awareness. It will not lock you out: the first start allows the address you are on. The whole rule set is replaced in one step or not at all, in iptables, ip6tables and ipset, and keeps working if Guard stops. Manage it with the guard command, its settings shell, or the Guard Admin web interface; Guard Fleet shows the ports and lists of all your servers as one table and saves to all of them at once. Free edition with no time limit; paid editions for one server or many.
