项目历史

The official nullsecurity tools page lists sshtrix 0.0.3 as a 2015 release by noptrix and describes it as a fast multithreaded SSH login cracker supporting SSHv1 and SSHv2. The source tree README repeats the same design goal: keep the code simple, stable, fast, and modular so it can be extended or forked for other protocols.

The release archive's manual page is dated October 1, 2011 for version 0.0.1, indicating that the code predates the later GitHub-hosted release archive and package-manager formula.

采用历史

The supplied Homebrew formula packages the 0.0.3 tarball from the nullsecurity tools repository and depends on libssh. Outside that formula and the upstream tools page, official adoption evidence is sparse, so the package history is best understood as niche security-tool packaging rather than broad CLI adoption.

使用方式

Official documentation presents sshtrix as a command-line tool for authorized password-auditing and testing scenarios, with host, range, username list, password list, thread-count, timeout, and output options documented in the manual page.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Package nerds care about sshtrix mostly as an example of old-school security-tool packaging: a small C/libssh utility maintained inside a larger tool archive, surfaced through Homebrew with a pinned source tarball rather than a standalone release-heavy project.
