This is very cool

I’m not a Linux user, so maybe this is all way over my head, but what’s the purpose of software like this?

ono OP ,

The purpose of SSH is to allow remote access to computers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh

The purpose of keystroke timing obfuscation is to make it difficult for a man-in-the-middle to deduce your passwords as you type them over an SSH connection.

Thanks, that’s cool! I remember using ssh back in college when I was attempting to major in computer engineering and interacting with the student server.

Is keystroke timing a legitimate way for programs to decipher/narrow down a password?

ono OP ,

Not legitimate in the sense of being nice or ethical, but a legitimate concern in the sense that timing attacks can be very effective.
