Targeted MitM attacks using information leakage in SSH clients [pdf]

I agree about the default terminal emulation, although Microsoft's new Terminal application has improved much of it.

But I find PuTTY's terminals to be almost worse. The visuals are seriously eye cancer inducing, and PuTTY's tools don't seem to be built with a terminal-based workflow in mind.

So, I much rather use either MS' OpenSSH port (on Win10) or MSYS 2's (which is included in the Git Bash for Windows, too).

Putty's absurdly small gui that isn't resizable was one of those minor things that always made my eye twitch. UX from a different age.

Why do you need to resize it?

Why do you need to change your wallpaper?

I think he's implying that customization is pretty much something you take for granted and there is no real reason it's not in putty.
