I did link to Dropbear in my latest post, but I would not say that Dropbear is a good replacement for every use case. It depends a lot on what you are doing.

Now from my perspective I would say that there is demand for a better version of SSH on the market, since almost every developer uses it, and its use everywhere, including airports, banks, crypto exchanges and so on.

Obviously, I would not recommend anybody working with digital assets to classify OpenSSH as a secure system in their workflow, you have to be totally mad.

Would you put 1000 BTC on a system and have OpenSSH as a frontline software to protect it?

Would you accept software from a company that does it?

    | "Decommission and replace" stands, not because of proven malice, but

As you're proposing replacement, what would you recommend is used
instead?
