Robo-TiTO

Robo-TiTO gives you an alternative access to a remote machine terminal.

Main Objective

Sometimes you cannot reach an ssh ip:port of an host by a lot of reasons:

  • host is behind NAT
  • firewall protection
  • remote host with dynamic ip
  • port redirections
  • annoying administrators

Robo-TiTO allows you circumvent these problems and execute commands remotely on your server.

Description

This is a light-weight bot connecting through XMPP (eg.: GTalk) that allows you run shell command remotely. Robo-TiTO will not open a port to be accessed, instead of that, it will connect to a jabber service. You send your commands in a chat session and receive terminal output back. You will be "talking" to your server like you always did, but now you will get some answers from it.

Requirements

  • Ruby >= 2.0.0

Installation

bundle install

# adjust the bot credentials and server settings using the example file provided
cp config/credentials.rb.example config/credentials.rb
vim config/credentials.rb

start with

./robotitod start

check additional available options with

./robotitod -h

Authentication

Robo-TiTO uses OTP (One Time Password) for authentication. You can use Google Authenticator, available for Android and iPhone, You just need to add a time based account entry with the credentials you specified in the credentials.rb file.
