That's the rub, I can't really (don't have access to any Windows machine). Though I'll try whether wine can do it. I'll try to setup a Windows VM for  this one of these days.

OK, that more or less matches what I had "guessed" based on FlowSSH (which already was on my page).
Though I do not yet have a way to show on the page when an algorithm is supported but disabled by default. This is on my TODO list, though. Amongst other things (e.g. "supported since version x.y" would be nice to have, too)

OK, so for now I'll keep a single entry for the two.

Thanks for your help, I now added Bitwise SSH to my page.

One last question: Right now I only list these user auth methods:

    userauth:   # the following is a guess, based on what FlowSsh supports
        - publickey
        - password
        - keyboard-interactive
        - none

But since you mention gss in your kex list, I am wondering whether this is incomplete...?


Cheers,
Max
