A basic remote shell server prototype written in C++ supporting:

• TCP client/server communication
• Multi-client handling
• TLS encryption using OpenSSL

---

Linux Only

This project is intended to be compiled and run on Linux The following commands are intended for Ubuntu or any Debian-based distribution

Server Side

TCP server

Compile and run the Server

g++ remote_shell_server.cpp -o server
./server

TLS server

1. Generate a self-signed certificate and key :

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

2. Compile the server

g++ remote_shell_server.cpp -o server -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread

3. run server

./server

Client Side

TCP client (netcat required)

nc localhost 8080

TLS client

openssl s_client -connect localhost:8080
