🔍 What is VGT SSH Dashboard?

A compiled Go binary that renders a full Tactical Intelligence HUD directly in your terminal on every SSH login — concurrent data extraction, kernel-level syscalls, zero external dependencies beyond the Go standard library.

Old Bash MOTD:                      VGT SSH Dashboard Go Edition:
→ Sequential execution              → Concurrent goroutines (3 parallel engines)
→ Subshell overhead                 → Direct syscalls (Sysinfo, Statfs, Uname)
→ External tool dependency          → Pure Go — no bash, awk, grep required
→ No input sanitization             → CWE-150 hardened output sanitization
→ PATH hijacking risk               → Absolute binary paths (CWE-426)
→ No timeout enforcement            → 850ms global context deadline

⚙️ Architecture

main()
  │
  ├── getSystemState()   goroutine → syscall.Sysinfo, /proc/meminfo, syscall.Statfs
  ├── getNetworkState()  goroutine → UDP dial (Local IP), DNS TXT whoami.cloudflare (Public IP)
  └── getSecurityState() goroutine → parseFail2BanLog(), exec /usr/bin/last

All three run concurrently with an 850ms global context deadline.
Timeout = graceful render with available data, no hang.

Component	Method
Uptime / Load	syscall.Sysinfo — direct kernel struct
Kernel / OS	syscall.Uname + /etc/os-release
Memory	/proc/meminfo — line-by-line scanner
Disk	syscall.Statfs("/")
Local IP	UDP dial to 1.1.1.1:80 — reads local addr
Public IP	DNS TXT lookup whoami.cloudflare — no HTTP call
fail2ban	Last 64KB of /var/log/fail2ban.log — bounded read
Services	/bin/systemctl is-active --quiet <name>
Logins	/usr/bin/last -a -w -n 10

---

🔒 Security Design

Hardening	Detail
CWE-150 — Terminal Injection	sanitizeStr() and sanitizeIP() applied to all external data before output
CWE-426 — PATH Hijacking	Absolute paths hardcoded: /bin/systemctl, /usr/bin/last
Context Deadline	850ms global timeout — no infinite hang possible
Bounded I/O	fail2ban log: last 64KB only — no full-file read on large logs
No clear	Scrollback buffer preserved — admin history never wiped
Regex pre-compiled	rxFail2Ban and rxLast compiled once at startup — O(1) per line

🚀 Installation

Requirements

# Install Go
apt install golang-go

Step 1 — Remove old Bash version (if installed)

sudo rm /etc/update-motd.d/99-vgt-dashboard

Step 2 — Clone and build

git clone https://github.com/visiongaiatechnology/sshdashboard
cd sshdashboard

# Build optimized binary (stripped symbols, minimal size)
go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o vgt-hud sshdashboard.go

Step 3 — Install binary

sudo mv vgt-hud /usr/local/bin/vgt-hud
sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/vgt-hud
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/vgt-hud

Step 4 — Register as MOTD

# Create MOTD wrapper
echo '#!/bin/bash' | sudo tee /etc/update-motd.d/99-vgt-dashboard
echo '/usr/local/bin/vgt-hud' | sudo tee -a /etc/update-motd.d/99-vgt-dashboard
sudo chmod +x /etc/update-motd.d/99-vgt-dashboard

# Disable default Ubuntu MOTD scripts
sudo chmod -x /etc/update-motd.d/*
sudo chmod +x /etc/update-motd.d/99-vgt-dashboard

Step 5 — Verify

sudo run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/

Or open a new SSH session — the HUD appears immediately.

🔧 Customization

Open sshdashboard.go and edit the branding section:

// Header — replace with your own name/label:
printRail(fmt.Sprintf("  YOURNAME  //  YOUR ENGINE"))

// Footer — replace the credit line:
// Find the footer printRail and update accordingly

Colors — all ANSI 256 constants at the top of the file:

cRail  = "\033[38;5;39m"   // Cyan rail — left border glyph
cBrand = "\033[38;5;81m"   // Brand color — header
cOk    = "\033[38;5;113m"  // Green — active services
cWarn  = "\033[38;5;220m"  // Yellow — warnings
cCrit  = "\033[38;5;196m"  // Red — critical / bans
cMag   = "\033[38;5;170m"  // Magenta — IPs / highlights

After any change, rebuild:

go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o vgt-hud sshdashboard.go
sudo mv vgt-hud /usr/local/bin/vgt-hud
