This project now hosts the third-generation of Java SSH API, Maverick Synergy. This API builds on the Maverick Legacy commercial APIs and delivers a new API in a unified client/server framework. This API is available to the community under the LGPL open source license. This update includes ed25519 support, support for the new OpenSSH private key file format and stronger key exchange algorithms. The project continues to host both the original API and legacy applications created around it, however, these are now considered deprecated and we do not recommend their use in anyway.

xterm.js is a TypeScript-based front-end terminal emulation component that lets web applications embed fully-featured terminal interfaces. It powers in-browser terminals in tools like VS Code and browser IDEs. Xterm.js works with most terminal apps such as bash, vim, and tmux, including support for curses-based apps and mouse events. Xterm.js is really fast, it even includes a GPU-accelerated renderer. Xterm.js is not a terminal application that you can download and use on your computer. Xterm.js is not bash. Xterm.js can be connected to processes like bash and let you interact with them (provide input, receive output).

Bashish is a theme enviroment for text terminals. It can change colors, font, transparency and background image on a per-application basis. Additionally Bashish supports prompt changing on common shells such as bash, zsh and tcsh.

Install Nothing is a Rust-based project is a command-line tool that simulates the output of an installation process without actually doing any real installation, letting users watch amusing fake progress screens as if packages, kernels, or desktops were being compiled and configured. Rather than running real tasks, it produces convincing terminal output that mimics the steps, logs, and scrolling messages of installation scripts, making it entertaining for demonstrations, jokes, or screensaver-style displays in terminal sessions. It’s designed for simplicity and safety, doing nothing destructive or permanent on your system while still delivering a satisfying illusion of intense computing activity. Users can configure its behavior to include or exclude specific fake stages, so the output can be tailored to the experience they want.

Remote Desktop Client for the GNOME Desktop. Supported protocols: RDP, VNC, SSH. Configured sessions can be saved to the built in list. Additional programs required: rdesktop, tightvnc, ssh, gnome-terminal. Application can be run with Mono runtime.

Dockerlings is an interactive learning tool and game that helps users learn Docker fundamentals directly in their terminal through bite-sized exercises and challenges. Designed for both beginners and developers who want a hands-on introduction to containerization, it gamifies common Docker tasks like managing images, containers, networks, and volumes so you can practice repeatedly without needing external tutorials or sandbox environments. The tool runs as a terminal application that presents interactive prompts and verifies your commands instantly, giving immediate feedback on whether you’ve completed the step correctly. Instead of reading static documentation, dockerlings turns learning into a mini-adventure where each successful command unlocks the next lesson, helping solidify understanding through practical repetition.

A convenient interface to execute shell-commands or browse the filesystem on your remote web server. Similar to a telnet or SSH connection. Use it for administration and maintenance of your web site using commands like ps, cat, gunzip, and more. Additional website: https://phpshell.sourceforge.io/

JLine is a java library for reading and editing user input in console applications. It features tab-completion, command history, password masking, customizable keybindings, and pass-through handlers to use to chain to other console applications. PROJECT REPOSITORY HAS MOVED: https://github.com/jline

basE91 is an advanced method for encoding binary data as ASCII characters. It is similar to UUencode or base64, but is more efficient. The overhead produced by basE91 depends on the input data. It amounts at most to 23% and can range down to 14%.

Peon-ping is a quirky utility that brings fun and practical voice notifications to your development workflow by using Warcraft III peon-style sound effects whenever significant events occur in your code editor or terminal. The project is built around the idea of reducing cognitive load by audibly alerting you when processes finish, tests fail, or language models complete responses, helping you stay focused without constantly watching the screen. It integrates with Claude Code, Codex, and other IDEs so that both AI-powered responses and routine command results can trigger peon voices. Because it’s implemented as a simple shell tool, it’s lightweight, easy to set up, and runs alongside your existing tools without interfering with your core development setup. Users can customize which notifications they want and how frequently sounds play, turning mundane events into amusing auditory feedback.

DIET-PC (DIskless Embedded Technology Personal Computer) is a software kitset enabling IT professionals to build an open source GUI appliance based on commodity x86 (PC), PowerPC (Mac) or ARM (handheld) hardware, using an embedded Linux methodology.

h3270 is a program that allows you to use IBM 3270 hosts from within a web browser. It is different from other, similar systems because of its highly configurable layout engine that is based on regular expressions.

Morph is a cross-platform program that abstracts the Windows and Linux command line environments to help teach students or others not familiar with the command line how to use it in a way that is user friendly.

Open Source port of the X Window System. XFree86 home page is at http://www.xfree86.org. Bugs may be reported here or at http://bugs.xfree86.org. Information about accessing the XFree86 CVS repository can be found at http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/.

A C# .net VT/Telnet terminal emulator. The project is still very much in development but the Terminal is quite useable and fairly tolerent. It requires a c# 2 compiler. If anyone has taken this project any further, I'd love to see the results.

A powerful Java-based command line shell and text console API. The text console uses Swing in order to be fully cross-platform and also provides for the use of native console APIs such as Curses and the Windows console.

Some useful utilities for basic actions on the commmand line. Input and output functions allow an easy way of taking text from input and converting it into python objects. And a standard interface for terminal control features such as coloring.

A full featured, object-oriented, multi-platform C# wrapper for the curses terminal control library.

Delta Console provides a command shell for managing and controlling Deltapy applications. Delta Console have a very simple interface, and can execute any available command on the Application, as simple as invoking a function from the Python's shell.

NetworkTools has 2 components: A protocol analyzer which plays a TCP client or server or pipeline, which sits between a client and server and shows how they communicate. A port scanner can scan a range of IP addresses and ports. See screenshots.
