Shell Native Command Control through SSH Proxy Architecture

Introduction

Server access control solutions are essential security mechanisms that protect servers, which are among a company’s most critical assets. The core of server access control solutions is to track and manage which users access which servers and execute which commands. Traditional server access control solutions buffer each character input by a user, just like a virtual terminal, until the user presses the Enter key, and then combine the inputted characters to form the command the user intends to execute. However, this approach not only requires significant development time and costs, but it also becomes extremely difficult to parse the exact command if the user inputs the command using shortcuts or various key combinations. To address this challenge and enhance command parsing accuracy, QueryPie has developed a technology for command auditing and control using shell scripts.
