Description

Hello,

This is not a real issue or bug, but a question, even if I think it violates some basic security rules.

We are using chisel v1.7.6.
I'm wondering if there is a way to avoid passing a plain-text password in the chisel client command line. After starting the chisel client, anyone that list the running processes will see the command arguments and so the clear password.

I didn't find a way to hide this command or the password from users, so any help with this concern will be very helpful.

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the chisel client’s authentication and http_proxy command-line handling in the v1.7.6 codebase. Determine whether a supported way exists to avoid exposing the password in process arguments; done means documenting or agreeing on a safe, maintainable approach.】【。} perplexity?
