Attention all Linux Mystic sysops who use cryptlib for SSH,
I've just managed to get 3.4.9.6 working with the newer ciphers - created a shim that translates session-attribute enum values (asMysti
c has hardcoded them using the number lol).If anyone
wants to test, call my bbs via ssh on port 45022, and make sure that
the "Allow AES128-CBC" is set to "No" - so you usethe newe
r ciphers (thanks @Deuce for making SyncTERM the greatest!)
Mystic still sends data early, so the "Accept Early Data" needs to remain as
"Yes" for the moment.I made an installer too, so an
yone who has Mystic v1.12 A49 (and maybe older versions) should be a
ble to use my shim plus thelatest version of cryptlib (as o
f today - newer will need an upgraded conversion table likely)
I think it could be useful for Mystic sysops - especially considerin
g Mystic is now abandonware (or seemingly), having a moreup
todate cryptlib and using newer ciphers keeps us safe and secure =)

Nice! Any way to add this support to netrunner?

Not sure, I'm pretty sure that would require modification of the source for it, and as it's closed it'd be impossible I guess, unless someone could reverse engineer it and remake it with that support.

I'll see if there is something I can do.

Well that appears to be easy, I just copied the libs dir from my mystic install to the dir where I have netrunner binary, and ran netrunner and it connected fine to my BBS with the new cryptlib.

I think that's literally working as intended.
