Thank you so much for explaining things related to the project. 

I looked into Win32-OpenSSH and in design details 
(https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki/About%20Win32%20OpenSSH%20and%20Design%20Details)
 they have explained many of the things that they replaced from OpenBSD systems 
and how they have worked around that.

Regarding this, yesterday I discussed on IRC where I came to know that React OS 
is compatible with Windows Server 2003 so fork of Win32-OpenSSH theoretically 
might work directly on React OS or might need some minor changes where Win 7+ 
API would have been used.

So this project mainly reduces to make the fork of Win32-OpenSSH compatible 
with React OS.

Whether taking this port of SSH to windows can be seen as ok for the GSOC, or 
not? 
If not, what other things could be added to make it OK for GSOC?

Thanks,
Anchit Jain

[ros-dev] GSOC 2016 - SSH Service Project

2016-03-02 Thread Anchit Jain
Hello everyone,

I am Anchit Jain, Computer Science undergraduate from BITS PILANI, India.  
I am interested in pursuing SSH Service project.

  

I have some experience in Socket Programming and Network Protocol development
in C. Some of my work could be seen at [https://github.com/anchitjain1234](htt
ps://link.nylas.com/link/ezhvubksgc7dhi29sglp2mpvq/7af2e7b30ed04821b97b5daf768
9e7a5/0?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fanchitjain1234).

In past, I have implemented some basic network services like TFTP protocol and
some minor part of FTP client.

  

Regarding the project :- Would this project require a new SSH Server to be
written from scratch or to be build upon some existing codebase like Apache
Mina etc.?

  

I would request potential mentors to guide me for the same.

  

  

Thanks,

Anchit Jain
