PuTTY wish banner-escape-codes

This is a mirror. The primary PuTTY web site can be found here.

summary: Interpret escape codes in pre-login banner
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them.
priority: never: We don't ever intend to fix this.

People occasionally ask for PuTTY to interpret escape codes in the banner some SSH servers send prior to authentication.

The SSH-2 authentication specification, RFC 4252, states, in the section about SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_BANNER:

If the 'message' string is displayed, control character filtering, discussed in [SSH-ARCH], SHOULD be used to avoid attacks by sending terminal control characters.

This is what PuTTY does, and as such, terminal-control sequences won't work.

Audit trail for this wish.
