Torjus Håkestad 8189a108d1 feat: add shell interface, registry, and bash shell emulator
Implement Phase 1.4: replaces the hardcoded banner/timeout stub with a
proper shell system. Adds a Shell interface with weighted registry for
shell selection, a RecordingChannel wrapper (pass-through for now, prep
for Phase 2.3 replay), and a bash-like shell with fake filesystem,
terminal line reader, and command handling (pwd, ls, cd, cat, whoami,
hostname, id, uname, exit). Sessions now log command/output pairs to
the store and record the shell name.

# Oubliette
An SSH honeypot that logs login attempts, presents fake shells to "successful" logins, and tries to detect when a real human is poking around.
Named after the medieval dungeon - a place you throw people into and forget about them.
## Status
Early development. See `PLAN.md` for the roadmap.
## Usage
### Build
```sh
# With Nix
nix build
# With Go
nix develop -c go build ./cmd/oubliette
```
### Configure
Copy and edit the example config:
```sh
cp oubliette.toml.example oubliette.toml
```
Key settings:
- `ssh.listen_addr` — listen address (default `:2222`)
- `ssh.host_key_path` — Ed25519 host key, auto-generated if missing
- `auth.accept_after` — accept login after N failures per IP (default `10`)
- `auth.credential_ttl` — how long to remember accepted credentials (default `24h`)
- `auth.static_credentials` — always-accepted username/password pairs
- `storage.db_path` — SQLite database path (default `oubliette.db`)
- `storage.retention_days` — auto-prune records older than N days (default `90`)
- `storage.retention_interval` — how often to run retention (default `1h`)
- `shell.hostname` — hostname shown in shell prompts (default `ubuntu-server`)
- `shell.banner` — banner displayed on connection
- `shell.fake_user` — override username in prompt; empty uses the authenticated user
### Run
```sh
./oubliette -config oubliette.toml
```
Test with:
```sh
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 2222 root@localhost
```
### NixOS Module
Add the flake as an input and enable the service:
```nix
{
services.oubliette = {
enable = true;
package = inputs.oubliette.packages.${system}.default;
settings = {
ssh.listen_addr = ":2222";
auth.accept_after = 10;
auth.static_credentials = [
{ username = "root"; password = "toor"; }
];
};
};
}
```
Alternatively, use `configFile` to pass a pre-written TOML file instead of `settings`.
