Hello everyone. I'm a freshmen in college and need to write something security-related for a class. After discovering how easy it is to write homebrew for the Nintendo Wii, I set my sights on writing something for that platform. Since SSH pretty much rules my life, I decided to look for relatively simple SSH client I might be able to port, which brought me to Dropbear.
Now, I know the Wii isn't exactly POSIX compliant; I don't think there's much of an operating system to speak of. Any port of Dropbear will probably end up being more of a fork then a port. However, there is an FTP server and a few other networked apps written for the Wii, so I'm sure an SSH client is possible. But is a Dropbear port feasible? I'm worried about the POSIX libraries that I won't be able to use, such as network, time, threads, and entropy. Plus, I'm not well versed in this stuff to begin with. But this is stuff I would really like to learn, especially the networking. What parts of the code do you think I will have to rewrite? Anyway, I just started this yesterday, and I'm not sure if I can do it. Any tips, criticism, or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I'm prepared for blood and sweat if I'm going to get this to work. ;) Regards, Jonathan
