Protecting sshd with spiped

This repository shows how to place spiped in front of your SSH daemon (sshd) in order to add an extra layer of symmetric-key protection and drastically reduce your exposed attack surface.


What is spiped?

spiped is a lightweight daemon designed to create symmetrically encrypted and authenticated “pipes” between socket addresses. It binds a local TCP port and forwards traffic to another socket—typically on the same machine—while encrypting and verifying all data in transit.
