Chisel vs SSH-Snake
GitHub Stats
About Chisel
Chisel is a fast TCP/UDP tunnel over HTTP, secured via SSH, designed for bypassing firewalls and NAT. As a single binary, it facilitates easy deployment and operation, making it ideal for situations requiring quick setup and reliable tunneling. Developed in Go, Chisel is notable for its speed and simplicity, providing a robust solution for secure data transmission through restrictive network environments.
About SSH-Snake
SSH-Snake is a self-propagating tool that automatically discovers SSH private keys on a compromised system, determines which hosts they connect to, and uses them to hop to the next system. It operates filelessly by passing itself through SSH sessions, leaving minimal forensic artifacts. SSH-Snake recursively maps the network of systems reachable via SSH trust relationships, building a graph of infrastructure connectivity. It discovers keys in common locations, agent forwarding sockets, bash history, known_hosts files, and SSH configs. Useful for demonstrating the blast radius of a single compromised host.
