sshmitm.session module

Session Class

The Session class provides the ability to start, manage, and close an interactive session between a client and a server. It provides a convenient and exception-safe way to handle sessions in your application.

try:
    with Session(self, client, addr, self.authenticator, remoteaddr) as session:
        if session.start():
            while session.running:
                # session is running
                pass
        else:
            logging.warning("(%s) session not started", session)
except Exception:
    logging.exception("error handling session creation")

This code creates a session object using the session_class method, and wraps it in a with statement. The start method is then called on the session object. If the start method returns True, the session is considered running and the running property of the session is checked in a while loop. If the start method returns False, a warning message is logged indicating that the session was not started. If any exceptions are raised during session creation, they are logged using the logging.exception method.

class sshmitm.session.BaseSession

Bases: BaseModule

The BaseSession class serves as a base for session management in the system.

This class should be subclassed to provide custom session management functionality.
