I have $1000 here waiting for you if you can break from one container to another. I need valid proof in the form of source code for your exploit. send it to hello @ koding.com and we will paypal you the money.
I don't disagree with what your saying, however all security when there is a third party involved who can see what your doing in the clear is based on trust. We do everything we can to make sure that the only people who could possibly see what your doing is us. Should you trust us ? thats up to you. But ask yourself why we would risk everything we have built just to steal your passwords/keys ? If we did that we would be the most expensive and elaborate social engineering attack I have ever heard of :) anyway - come to the platform, do some not so serious stuff then over time maybe we can gain your trust ?
This isn't really the intended use case, sshing from your Koding VM to other servers. However the VM we give you is yours - you have root and full control over it, if there is something on there to capture your passwords then you put it there :) (We are not the NSA)
Yes we support SSH and SCP. Yes we also have browser based editor. Just need to go to the main site. We also give root etc. As long as your using the VM it will not shut off - however it will shutdown 15 mins after you logout.
We are pretty open about who is staff and who is not. if you don't like what we are doing thats your prerogative. Simple fact is we offer you a dev environment with root on your dev VM for free. All setup and ready to go in seconds. No one else is doing this, so call it spam if you like but the number of users signing up daily and enjoying the service disagree with you (oh and yes I am staff).
or github, aws etc. Oh yeah thats right, couldnt use those either. I guess you host everything yourself on a private network that you install all the connectivity for globally ?
