HyRCEd

HyRCEd is a daemon providing remote command execution (RCE for short) over HTTP.

Current Status

HyRCEd is still under active design and not yet ready for mainstream usage.

Questions nobody has ever asked

Is HyRCEd secure?

Of course it is: the “S” in the name stands for “secure”. It's just executing commands remotely over unencrypted HTTP, nothing more. What could go wrong?

Seriously, though: no, it's not. For now at least. I'll update the answer to this question when I'll consider it “reasonably secure”, but until then, it'd be foolish to run HyRCEd next to anything remotely important.
