I am from cyber security team, i am working on security controls so from windows and Linux perspective i want to know which document or screenshot from these(Linux and Windows) will suffice for encryption and key management control for audit purpose.

Thanks a lot for writing back: giving us some useful information. We only run ssh into the server because we got errors while trying to connect to ssh-chat server directly. But we’ll test once more and possibly update the article as you have explained. Once more thanks for this useful server, and these remarks.

Some corrections for your article:

You don’t need to host a gateway for people to access ssh-chat. That is, you don’t need to ssh into one server, only to ssh into ssh-chat after that. You can just ssh into the ssh-chat server directly if the port is exposed. In fact, removing the need for a gateway to have ssh-secured chat is the entire point of ssh-chat.

Also as others mentioned, you don’t need to compile it from scratch to run the server. You can download our binaries here: https://github.com/shazow/ssh-chat/releases

And as always, come say hi and ask questions on the main ssh-chat server:

ssh chat.shazow.net

Have fun!
