What it does
Replace static SSH keys with daily-rotating certificates. Integrate Okta, Google, or Entra ID for MFA. Centralized auditing, emergency access, zero manual key management.
Short-lived SSH certificates provide stronger security with less operational overhead. Smallstep SSH secures remote access across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments for developers, automation, and modern AI and MCP-driven workflows. Replace long-lived SSH keys with ephemeral certificates that regenerate each day. Static SSH keys often linger in servers and laptops for months or years, creating a ticking time bomb for unauthorized access. They’re easy to lose track of, hard to rotate, and seldom rekeyed. Developers authenticate to GitHub with the same SSH keys that sit unrotated on their laptops for years. Smallstep replaces them with short-lived certificates issued to keys generated in…from smallstep.com

Hi HN! I built KeyPub.sh to solve the problem of user verification for CLI applications. It's essentially OAuth for the terminal, but using SSH keys that developers and users already have. - No installation needed - works with existing SSH setup - Privacy-focused: users control what email info is shared - Simple email verification process - Free public service - Perfect for CLI app developers who don't want to build user verification Try it with: `$ ssh keypub.sh about` Source code: https://github.com/skariel/keypub

https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
