ShellGuard: Enterprise Command Auditing

By integrating with SSH and OS loggers, ShellGuard gives administrators instant visibility into terminal activity without compromising user privacy.

Comment on: Tracking down a Zsh history data loss bug

Does zsh have that 2000 command limit by default?You can't expect much from a system that has those defaults, I'm all for traditions, but if I were to depend on a system for command history, it wouldn't be anything that reads a bash_history, a revolution is needed, not incremental optimizationsP.s: what I do is set it to unlimited on both size and line count, but it's not a forensic grade audit trace, we'd need an OS, or ssh command logger, preferably one that writes to an external disk, but it can be to a root controlled file, definitely not to a user owned file.Security protects not only aga

Comment on: Tracking down a Zsh history data loss bug

Absolutely not. It felt so laggy and buggy ~1 year ago. I think resizing my screen broke it at the time? And now it's loaded with AI and shortcuts overrides.I switched to my custom fork of stinkpot posted a few days ago here, and it's so nice. I did have to add current-for filtering, but that was easy.
