Blinkenshell
Blinkenshell is a virtual community built around a public access UNIX shell account provider. Blinkenshell was founded in 2006 and has been in continual operation since. The name Blinkenshell refers to Blinkenlights.[1] [2]
History[edit]
The domain name blinkenshell.org was registered in 2006[3] and a Linux server [4] [5] was set up for public access. Shell accounts could be registered using a semi-automated process and new members were accepted using a peer-review system. [6]. At this point Blinkenshell was part of a larger network of shell providers called Shellsnet (now defunct).[7]. Since 2010 Blinkenshell operates its own IRC network called BlinkenIRC for users to chat. [8]
Since users are allowed to log in and execute their own code the server is susceptible to both local and remote exploits, therefore many different RBAC systems like grsecurity, SELinux and Apparmor have been used over the years to minimize attack vectors.[9] [10]
