    Make jumphosts and knock easier without messing up your ssh config.



## Features

- Consolidate ssh knock config into dedicated config file

- No dependency on knockd

## Requirements

- [Python 3.6+](https://python.org)

- [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/)

## Installation

1. Clone the repo in your home folder:

   `git clone https://github.com/timo-reymann/ssh-knock-interceptor.git $HOME/.ssh-knock-interceptor`

## Usage

1. Add to your ssh config:

    ```ssh-config

   Host *.example.com

       ProxyCommand bash -c 'source $HOME/.ssh-knock-interceptor/init %h %p'

    ```

2. Create the config file for the knock hosts in `.ssh/knock-config`:

   ```ini

   [app*.example.com]

   sequence = 1000 2000 3000

   host     = jumphost-apps.example.com

   [web*.example.com]

   sequence = 1001 2001 3001

   host     = jumphost-webservers.example.com

   [advanced*.example.com]

   use_udp  = true

   sequence = 1001 2001:tcp 3001

   host     = jumphost-webservers.example.com

   ```

## Motivation

Maintaining knock commands in your ssh config becomes a huge mess over time.

## Documentation

### How it works

It consists of three parts:

- Python script

   - parse and validate ini file

   - knock with python

- Bash wrapper

    - to source env vars

    - execute ssh command in same tty

- Integration into existing ssh config
