Instructions are in RED text and should be removed from your document by deleting the text with the span tags. This document is intended to serve as an example of what is required of an OWASP project wiki page. The text in red serves as instructions, while the text in black serves as an example. Text in black is expected to be replaced entirely with information specific to your OWASP project.

OWASP KeyBox Project

KeyBox is a web-based SSH console that centrally manages administrative access to systems. It combines key management and administration through profiles assigned to defined users. KeyBox layers TLS/SSL on top of SSH and can act as a bastion host.

Description

KeyBox is a web-based SSH console that centrally manages administrative access to systems. KeyBox combines key management and administration through profiles assigned to defined users.

Administrators can login using two-factor authentication with FreeOTP or Google Authenticator . From there they can create and manage public SSH keys or connect to their assigned systems through a web-shell. Commands can be shared across shells to make patching easier and eliminate redundant command execution.

KeyBox layers TLS/SSL on top of SSH and acts as a bastion host for administration. Protocols are stacked (TLS/SSL + SSH) so infrastructure cannot be exposed through tunneling / port forwarding. More details can be found in the following whitepaper: The Security Implications of SSH. Also, SSH key management is enabled by default to prevent unmanaged public keys and enforce best practices.

News and Events

Many projects have "Frequently Asked Questions" documents or pages. However, the point of such a document is not the questions. The point of a document like this are the answers. The document contains the answers that people would otherwise find themselves giving over and over again. The idea is that rather than laboriously compose and post the same answers repeatedly, people can refer to this page with pre-prepared answers. Use this space to communicate your projects 'Frequent Answers.'

Road Map

Add ability to save session and command line information to a large data store so it can be audited and reviewed. Compute and flag irregularities that could point security issues or improper use. Deploy to embedded network devices to act as a proxy for SSH connections.

Getting Involved

It's currently packaged along with a web-server and can be downloaded by consumers from github
