Cyberbrain is a way to ensure that so long as a person is connected to the Internet and authorized, they're able to connect to, use, and control the AniNIX. It's a web-based shell emulator for connecting to the system.
**Warning**: This is a fallback measure -- browsers are still inherently less secure than hard clients like [Git Bash](https://git-scm.com/download/win) or [OpenSSH](https://www.openssh.com/portable.html).
# Etymology
A [cyberbrain](https://ghostintheshell.fandom.com/wiki/Cyberbrain) is a concept from the series *Ghost in the Shell*. It's the integration of a normal brain with electronic, usually networked components. Similarly, this app serves as a core bridge between the shell environment of the AniNIX and any authorized user.
# Relevant Files and Software
This service uses a file, [/etc/conf.d/webssh](file:///etc/conf.d/webssh), to control the service. Additionally, there's a password file [/opt/openresty/nginx/passwords/cyberbrain.htpasswd](file:///opt/openresty/nginx/passwords/cyberbrain.htpasswd) that controls an initial authentication to the webserver socket.
## Backups
No backup is needed.
# Available Clients
This uses the same clients as [AniNIX/WebServer](../WebServer). Any browser will do.
