Lost In Cyberia Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Hey everyone... I'm just stretching my wings a bit and seeing how things work. If I wanted to write a script that had me ssh to my remote computer, how can this be done? If the script runs without me, how can I enter the required password? the same is true for any time of authentication method like scp file transferring... There must be a way via script around this?

Mr-Protocol Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 If your SSH has certs in place, there is no need to type a password and you can just call ssh directly. You can also give ttyrec a shot: http://0xcc.net/ttyrec/index.html.en http://hak5.org/episodes/haktip-56 Here is another one found via Google: http://linux.die.net/man/1/script I am pretty sure Darren used another one besides ttyrec, but I can't remember the other one. If you see this Darren, refresh my memory :D. Quote
Sitwon Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I think he used 'expect' in one episode. I believe expect does some magic to solve password entry problem (that is, some tools like ssh won't read a password from stdin, it needs to actually be typed at the keyboard). Quote
