# Web Terminal
A (unsafe) technical demo to export a shell to web browser.
This program is written in the go programming language, using the
Gin web framework, gorilla/websocket, pty, and xterm.js!
The workflow is simple, the client will initiate a terminal
window (xterm.js) and create a websocket with the server. On
the server side, it serves the basic HTML/JS/CSS files and
websockets (by shovling the data between pty and xterm).
It is amazing what you can do with less than 200 lines of go code.
It is just a simple demo in case some people are interested in
how to setup xterm.js with websocket.
**NOTE**
___Do NOT run this in an untrusted network. You will expose your
shell to anyone that can access your network and Do NOT leave
the server running.___
