PSP homebrew coder Zx-81 is apparently taking a break from PSP game emulators to let us in on something equally (if not more) lucrative: PSPSSH v1.0.2.

This homebrew application is Zx-81's PSP version of Matt Johnston's Dropbear SSH2 Server and Client, which was originally built to run on a variety of POSIX-based platforms. As Zx-81 explains, "PSPSSH is a port of the client version 0.48.1 to the PSP," with v1.0.2 carrying this latest changelog:

* As Matt Johnston advice me, a new random number generator has been integrated (it's a unix like /dev/random generator). This version is now more secure, since the entropy of the random number generator is higher.
* Add option for binary id_rsa key file support, for priv/pub RSA key pair authentication. (See README for details)
* Add option to disable remote server version check
* Add option to change PSP CPU Clock
* New Danzeff keyboard layout, control keys are now available, and unused keys have been removed.
* Control keys and arrow keys support
* Improved communication speed !
* Add scroll up and scroll down feature
* A cursor is now displayed in the console window
* Bug fix and code cleaning

Full installation instructions, author accreditation, and application usage details await in the file bundle's text files - we strongly advise users to read through them first. There's also Zx-81's release thread over at the QJ.Net forums, which makes for a good source of information, and pointers from other veteran coders who may be passing by.
