+
+With version 0.4.0 the [ssh-mitm](http://ssh-mitm.at/) projects locks the features
+shipping with the core functionality of the program. It is now preferred that any additions to the
+feature-set is made through the modular capabilities that the ssh-mitm project is built upon. Using
+entrypoints in combination with modules anyone can make their own ssh-mitm plugins.
+
+This projects adds some advanced features to the ssh-mitm server that furthers its capabilities
+to realise security audits.
+
+## Installation
+
+Installing the ssh-mitm server including these plugins is very simple:
+
+    $ pip install ssh-mitm-plugins
+
+The current version of the ssh-mitm server will be installed and additional advanced features
+will be available through these plugins. The ssh-mitm server will operate normally as described
+by the [ssh-mitm project](#ssh-mitm).
+
+## Plugins
+
+Following advanced features will be made available through the modular runtime compilation of 
+the ssh-mitm server.
+
+#### SSH 
+* stealthshell - improving on the *injectorshell*, this ssh interface will
+make hijacking of a ssh session undetectable
+* scriptedshell - perfect for security audits and information gathering, this ssh interface executes
+a script on the remote machine and stores the output on the ssh-mitm server
+
+For a more detailed look at the plugins usage and operation refer to the 
+[documentation](http://ssh-mitm-plugins.readthedocs.io).

-Injectorshell
-=================
+injectorshell
+===============
 
+Included in the original `ssh-mitm <http://ssh-mitm.at/>`_ suit this is a detailed documentation
+by its creator.
+
+The injectorshell ssh interface allows the operator of the ssh-mitm server to serve out shell access over
+the network that correspond to a hijacked ssh session. Within these injected shells one is able to
+execute commands on the remote host using the ssh session created by the original client. Contrary to the
+mirrorshell there can be multiple injected shells per ssh session. All these shells - including the client itself -
+share their environment but are served answers individually.
+
+Using the ``--ssh-injector-enable-mirror`` option injected shells can print the input of the user to their screen.
+This differs from the mirrorshell which always displays output on the injected as well as the clients shell. The injectorshell
+tries its best to not leak any unwanted output to the users session so that they can operate normally.
+
+By default injector shell access is limited to the local maschine ``localhost`` but can be opened up to any
+network using the ``--ssh-injector-net NET/IF`` parameter. Due to the fact that access to the injector shells is
+not authenticated doing this should be thoroughly thought through.
+
+For ease of use a private key can be used for a more consistent integrity check. It can be set with the
+``--ssh-injector-key ID`` parameter. If this is not done a new one will be generated each time the server is spun up.
+
+.. note::
+    It should also be noted that shell environment can be affected by any injector shell and is not accounted for when
+    considering stealth. This means environment variables or the working directory for example can be changed by any
+    injector shell and will alert the original shells owner of faulty operation.
+
+.. important::
+    It is also important to mention that when multiple injector shells are inserting commands into the same hijacked ssh
+    session at the same time discrepancies are not accounted for. Keystrokes are collectively merged at the server and the
+    responses are served accordingly. This is also true for the clients interactive ssh session. A advanced edition of the
+    injectorshell - the :ref:`stealthshell` - fixes both these problems.

-Scriptedshell
+scriptedshell
 ===============
 
+When working through a security audit gathering information is one of the most important steps.
+
+The scriptedshell ssh interface is first and foremost an information gathering tool but due to its
+functionality it can also be used for different use cases. This plugin will execute a shell script
+when a new ssh session is opened by a client. The output of the script will be stored locally on the
+ssh-mitm machine under their respective session name.
+
+.. note::
+    Stored script output is taken from the server as-is with some ANSI control characters removed.
+
+The ``--ssh-script SCRIPT`` parameter declares the location of the script.
+
+The ``--ssh-out-dir DIR`` parameter indicates where the output of each session script execution should be stored.

+stealthshell
+=================
+
+As an upgrade to the :ref:`injectorshell` (implementation in `ssh-mitm <http://ssh-mitm.at/>`_ done by me) the stealthshell
+provides a way to workaround the problem of interfering with the clients interactive session.
+It only executes injected commands when the shell of the user wont be affected. As long as the interactive shell of the
+client is not typing or executing a command input from the injector shells is halted and put in a waiting queue.
+
+Using the ``--ssh-injector-super-stealth`` option the injector shells will only send whole commands instead of
+every keystroke. This further eliminates unwanted behavior. Unfinished commands from the injector shells are not seen
+by the server and the user of the interactive shell will never be surprised by input they never typed. This, however,
+will limit the terminal functionality of the injector shell. Because the server only responds to the whole command,
+terminal features like command auto-completion when pressing tab or command history with the up and down keys will not
+work correctly.
+
+
+.. note::
+    Environment considerations of the :ref:`injectorshell` are still uphold by the stealthshell. Discrepancy problems
+    described by the :ref:`injectorshell` are solved by this newer edition (client cannot be interrupted by injected keystrokes BUT
+    unfinished injected strokes will be seen by the server). Only with the ``--ssh-injector-super-stealth`` option will the
+    discrepancy between the user and all injector shells not occur. It is recommended that the ``--ssh-injector-super-stealth``
+    option is used in combination with the ``--ssh-injector-enable-mirror`` option to see more clearly when commands
+    can be executed.
+
+For a more detailed look at the plugins operation refer to the :ref:`injectorshell` documentation.
