    Bastillion Reviews

    Bastillion

    Bastillion

    $0.015 per hour
    Bastillion is a web-based SSH console which centrally manages administrative access. Web-based administration can be combined with the distribution and management of public SSH keys. Key management and administration depend on the user profiles. Administrators can log into their accounts using two-factor authentication with Authy and Google Authenticator. They can then manage their public SSH keys and connect to their systems via a web shell. To make patching and eliminating redundant commands easier, commands can be shared between shells. Bastillion layers TLS/SSL over top of SSH and serves as a bastion host to administer. Protocols are stacked (TLS/SSL+ SSH) to prevent infrastructure from being exposed via tunneling/port forwarding. SSH key management is also enabled by default to protect unmanaged public keys, and enforce best practices. Bastillion can be used for free under the Prosperity public license.
