Tests about ssh-chat HOT 6 CLOSED

@shazow Related to this, I've been working on a script to automatically join and speak on a server to simulate load. However, I've been having trouble authenticating (and the go documentation hasn't been very useful). What type of authentication does the server use? Based on the code it looks like PublicKey or KeyboardInteractive, but I haven't had much success with using either.

Unfortunately most example code I've found online is for password authentication, which the server doesn't use.

@empathetic-alligator Glad you asked! I have some great news for you. I wrote precisely that piece yesterday, but I don't have the piece you're working on. :)

Feel free to steal any/all of that code, or contribute back to it. Whatever makes sense.

Btw, in case it wasn't clear, please don't use this on the live chat.shazow.net, your IP will get blacklisted by iptables. :)

@shazow I've got a version working where the program can join the chat server, but so far I've been unable to have it send any messages.

Before it had only been making a connection:

2014-12-17 20:03:13.524 INFO Connection #10 from: 127.0.0.1:59996, hammer, SSH-2.0-Go

But now I've got it to actually display the join/leave messages, which may partly simulate what we're looking for:

2014-12-17 18:52:54.230 INFO Connection #9 from: 127.0.0.1:59898, hammer, SSH-2.0-Go
2014-12-17 18:52:54.230 DEBUG Broadcast to 2:  * hammer joined. (Total connected: 2)
2014-12-17 20:02:52.517 DEBUG Broadcast to 1:  * hammer left.

Take a look at https://github.com/peterhellberg/check-ssh-chat, too.

Tests are in a much better state now, yay.
