[client] iOS SSH: gate JWT behind server detection, reuse jwtcache (#6759 )

* feat(ios/ssh): add ConnectNetBirdPeer, JWT cache, and WireGuard dialer - Add ConnectNetBirdPeer() method that skips banner detection and authenticates directly via JWT (mirrors NetBird web dashboard flow) - Cache JWT token for 8 minutes to avoid OAuth re-auth on every reconnect (SSH servers reject tokens older than DefaultJWTMaxTokenAge = 10 min) - Bind SSH sockets to the WireGuard interface via IP_BOUND_IF (Darwin syscall 25) so connections to 100.x.x.x peers route through the tunnel in the iOS Network Extension process - Improve auth failure error message with actionable checklist - Add base64 JWT claims debug logging for auth troubleshooting Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ios/ssh): never offer the JWT to an unverified SSH service Remove ConnectNetBirdPeer. It skipped banner detection and sent the JWT as a password to whatever sshd answered, under InsecureIgnoreHostKey. WireGuard authenticates the peer machine, not the SSH service listening on it, so that handed a valid bearer token to an unidentified listener — a plain OpenSSH + PAM setup may even log the password attempt. Connect is now the only entry point. Detection is what proves the listener is a NetBird SSH service before the token is offered, and the JWT path already verifies the host key against the management-plane registry via engineHostKeyVerifier. A peer whose NetBird SSH is disabled is served by plain sshd and authenticates by key or password like any other host, so it stays reachable without an OAuth round trip. Move the NetBird-specific auth-failure checklist into annotateAuthError, gated on serverType.RequiresJWT(), so a regular sshd rejection no longer tells the user to check dashboard SSH access. Drop base64DecodeJWT, which was left unused. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

-## Security
-
-### Never fail open
-
-When a security check — access control, an IP restriction, an auth decision —
-hits an error such as an unparseable value, an unavailable lookup, or a state it
-does not recognize, it must **deny**. Never skip the check or allow the request
-through because the check itself failed, and make the `default` and unknown cases
-of a security-related `switch` deny rather than fall through.
-
-### Daemon RPC input is untrusted
-
-The agent runs as root (LocalSystem on Windows), so a daemon RPC crosses a
-privilege boundary: treat every field as untrusted input rather than as something
-the UI or CLI validated on the way in.
-
-When you add or change an RPC, ask what the handler does with caller input while
-running as root. If the answer touches a filesystem path, a URL or host, or a
-privileged state change, it needs a gate **in the handler** — a check in the client
-that normally calls it is not a check at all.
-
- **A caller-supplied path the daemon opens.** Never `os.Open` it as root.
-  Constrain it, then open it *as the caller* with `ipcauth.OpenOwnedFile`, which
-  opens `O_NOFOLLOW`, requires a regular file, and refuses a file the caller does
-  not own — so a symlink or hardlink aimed at a root-only file is rejected.
- **A caller-supplied URL or host the daemon fetches.** Restrict the scheme and
-  allow only known hosts for unprivileged callers. Prefer a lexical host
-  allowlist plus TLS verification over "resolve the host, then reject private
-  IPs": the resolve-then-trust pattern has a DNS-rebinding race (public IP at
-  check time, attacker IP at connect time), while a name allowlist has no IP
-  check to race. Never accept `http://` where `https://` is expected.
- **A privileged state change** (SSH root login, management URL, deregistration)
-  gates on the caller identity from `ipcauth.CallerIdentity(ctx)`.
-
-Caller identity comes from the kernel — `SO_PEERCRED`, `LOCAL_PEERCRED`, or the
-named-pipe client token — and never from an RPC field. When
-`ipcauth.CallerIdentity` reports that it could not determine an identity, **deny**;
-do not fall back to treating the caller as the transport peer.
-
-## Agent conventions
-
-### Three networking modes
-
-Where packets actually flow depends on the mode the agent is running in. The
-three are not interchangeable, so establish which one a change applies to — and
-what it should do in the other two — before you write it.
-
- **kernel mode** (Linux only): in-kernel WireGuard®. The kernel handles both
-  peer-to-peer and routed traffic, and ACLs are iptables or nftables rules. The
-  client programs kernel facilities but never sees the traffic itself.
- **userspace mode** (wireguard-go with a TUN): wireguard-go runs in-process. The
-  kernel handles peer-to-peer traffic once it leaves the TUN, while routed traffic
-  — exit nodes and network routes — goes through the userspace forwarder, which
-  terminates the connection and re-establishes it over OS sockets. Used on
-  platforms without kernel WireGuard® or when the user opts out.
- **netstack mode**: wireguard-go in-process with no TUN and no kernel
-  networking. The forwarder does all routing by stitching userspace sockets, and
-  listeners such as the embedded SSH and DNS servers bind on a gVisor netstack.
-  Used where the process cannot create a TUN device, such as the embedded client
-  (`client/embed/`) and the WASM build.
-
-### The overlay interface is not "WireGuard"
-
-Do not put "WireGuard" in identifiers or comments unless the code is genuinely
-coupled to WireGuard® specifically — a wireguard-go call, a handshake field, a
-kernel WireGuard® netlink attribute. For the interface, the host, peers, or
-traffic in general, say "the NetBird interface", "the interface", or "the overlay".
-Most firewall, routing, and DNS code is transport-agnostic, so a WireGuard®
-reference there is simply inaccurate and rots as the transports change.
-
-### IPv6 is a soft feature
-
-The IPv6 overlay is opt-in dual-stack, and capability can change at runtime. Treat
-it as soft rather than a requirement:
-
- Gate local v6 paths on the interface accessor (`wgIface.Address().HasIPv6()`),
-  not on raw state fields, and skip the v6 path when the host has no v6 rather
-  than returning an error.
- Treat an empty or unparseable peer v6 address as "no v6 for that peer" and skip
-  it, keeping the v4 path working.
- Never let a missing v6 break v4. Fail-closed is for security checks; a
-  capability mismatch skips the v6 work and carries on.
-
-### Environment variables
-
-Name the variable in a constant and parse booleans with `strconv.ParseBool` rather
-than comparing strings inline, so an unexpected value is logged instead of
-silently meaning false:
-
-```go
-const EnvDisableFeature = "NB_DISABLE_FEATURE"
-
-func isDisabledByEnv() bool {
-    val := os.Getenv(EnvDisableFeature)
-    if val == "" {
-        return false
-    }
-    disabled, err := strconv.ParseBool(val)
-    if err != nil {
-        log.Warnf("failed to parse %s: %v", EnvDisableFeature, err)
-        return false
-    }
-    return disabled
-}
-```
-
-### Validating against protocol specs
-
-When a change depends on what a protocol actually mandates, read the specification
-text from the [IETF datatracker](https://datatracker.ietf.org/) rather than a
-summary, and check that you have the current RFC — the widely cited one for a
-protocol is often superseded. Cite the section, not just the document, so a
-reviewer can jump straight to the rule.

-## Type safety
-
-**No bare primitives for domain concepts.** A `string` parameter for an account
-ID next to a `string` parameter for a peer ID is two bugs waiting to happen,
-because the compiler cannot catch the swap. Declare the type once and use it
-throughout, converting only at the boundaries where data enters or leaves —
-protobuf, gRPC, HTTP, an external library.
-
-```go
-type ServiceID string
-type AccountID string
-
-// Internal: typed all the way through
-func (r *Router) RemoveRoute(host SNIHost, svcID ServiceID) { ... }
-
-// Proto boundary: convert once, on the way in and on the way out
-svcID := ServiceID(mapping.GetId())
-req.ServiceId = string(svcID)
-```
-
- **IP addresses are `netip.Addr`**, not `string` and not `net.IP`. Parse at the
-  boundary and pass the typed value inward.
- **Always `Unmap()`** after parsing an address, after converting from `net.IP`,
-  and after extracting one from `RemoteAddr()`. This normalizes a v4-mapped v6
-  address (`::ffff:10.1.2.3`) to plain v4 so IPv4 rules match it. A stored or
-  compared mapped address silently fails to match those rules.
- **Ports are `uint16`** internally; use `int` only where a library forces it and
-  convert immediately.
- **Enums are a typed string with constants**, so the valid set is discoverable
-  and a typo fails to compile.
- **Map keys follow the same rule**, and must be a real type (`type ServiceID
-  string`) rather than an alias (`type serviceID = string`) — an alias silently
-  accepts bare strings.
-
-## Concurrency and lifecycle
-
-Beyond the mutex hygiene in the principles above, check for these failure
-modes.
-
- **Never read a struct field inside a goroutine** when another goroutine may nil
-  or reassign it. Pass the value as a parameter, or capture it into a local before
-  launching. This matters most when `Stop()` nils a field without waiting for the
-  goroutine to finish.
-
-  ```go
-  go func(ifaceName string) {   // good: passed in, cannot be nilled underneath
-      m.Start(ctx, ifaceName)
-  }(iface.Name())
-  ```
-
- **Never wait on a channel while holding a lock the sender needs.** Copy what you
-  need out from under the lock, release it, then wait.
-
-  ```go
-  func (m *Manager) Stop() {
-      m.mu.Lock()
-      cancel, done := m.cancel, m.done
-      m.mu.Unlock()
-      if cancel != nil {
-          cancel()
-          <-done
-      }
-  }
-  ```
-
- **`Stop`/`Close` must be idempotent** — guard on an already-stopped flag or a
-  nil cancel — and must release the state they guarded. Clear maps and caches;
-  a cancelled goroutine holding a live map still pins that memory. Note that a
-  nil map only panics on writes; reads and iteration behave like an empty map,
-  so where post-close use must be rejected, check the stopped flag explicitly.
- **Publish coupled state only after every fallible step succeeds.** When several
-  fields form an invariant, build them into locals and assign them to the receiver
-  at the end. Assigning as you go leaves the object half-initialized when a later
-  step fails, so a readiness predicate reports ready while a coupled field is nil.
-  If an earlier step already had an external side effect — a created chain, an
-  opened handle, an inserted rule — roll it back before returning the error.
- **Clean up what you own on constructor error paths.** Once a constructor has
-  started something, every later error path must undo it: cancel a goroutine and
-  wait for it to exit, stop a ticker, close a watcher. The object is never
-  returned, so its `Close` will never run.
- **A failed `Start` must undo everything it started.** When a component brings up
-  several subsystems in sequence — connection manager, watchers, routing, DNS,
-  flow, persisted state — a failure partway through has to tear down the ones
-  already running, not just close the handle the error came from. Put the
-  already-started guard *before* that teardown path, so a rejected second `Start`
-  cannot dismantle the one that is running.

+The files in this bundle have been anonymized to protect sensitive information. Here's how the anonymization was applied:

 IP Addresses

-Default level:
- Public IPv4 addresses are replaced with addresses starting from 198.51.100.0
- Public IPv6 addresses are replaced with addresses starting from 2001:db8:ffff::
- IPv6 unique local addresses (fc00::/7) are anonymized as well: their random global ID uniquely identifies the network.
- IP addresses from internal IPv4 ranges and well-known addresses are not anonymized (e.g. 8.8.8.8, 100.64.0.0/10, addresses starting with 192.168., 172.16., 10., 169.254., fe80::).
-
-Strict level (--anonymize-level strict), in addition to the default level:
- Private (RFC 1918), CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10), and link-local (169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10) addresses are anonymized too.
- Internal IPv4 addresses are replaced with addresses starting from 198.18.0.0 and internal IPv6 addresses with addresses starting from 2001:db8:1::, so internal addresses remain distinguishable from public ones.
- Addresses are mapped in order of first appearance: subnet structure, allocation scheme, and gateway conventions are not preserved. Prefix lengths of networks are preserved.
- Peer names in front of NetBird domains are replaced with numbered placeholders (e.g. peer-1.netbird.cloud), and subdomain labels of other domains with host-N placeholders.
- WireGuard public keys are replaced with consistent placeholder keys.
+IPv4 addresses are replaced with addresses starting from 198.51.100.0
+IPv6 addresses are replaced with addresses starting from 100::

+IP addresses from non public ranges and well known addresses are not anonymized (e.g. 8.8.8.8, 100.64.0.0/10, addresses starting with 192.168., 172.16., 10., etc.).
 Reoccuring IP addresses are replaced with the same anonymized address.

 Note: The anonymized IP addresses in the status file do not match those in the log and routes files. However, the anonymized IP addresses are consistent within the status file and across the routes and log files.

-MAC Addresses
-MAC addresses are replaced at every anonymization level with consistent placeholders counting up from 02:00:00:00:00:01. Broadcast, multicast, and all-zero addresses are kept. At the default level a preserved IPv6 link-local address may still embed a MAC address (EUI-64); the strict level anonymizes those addresses.
-
 Domains
 All domain names (except for the netbird domains) are replaced with randomly generated strings ending in ".domain". Anonymized domains are consistent across all files in the bundle.
 Reoccuring domain names are replaced with the same anonymized domain.
-At the strict level, the peer name labels in front of netbird domains are anonymized as well.

-#### `connection_type` values
-
-Derived from the connection priority (`conntype.ConnPriority`) by `metricsConnType` in `client/internal/peer/conn.go`:
-
-| Value | Priority | Traffic is |
-|-------|----------|------------|
-| `ice_p2p` | `ICEP2P` | direct peer-to-peer |
-| `ice_turn` | `ICETurn` | relayed, through a TURN server |
-| `relay` | `Relay` | relayed, through a NetBird relay |
-| `unknown` | `None` or unrecognised | no active transport — **the sample is not pushed** |
-
-**Direct traffic is `ice_p2p` only.** `ice_turn` is relayed despite being negotiated by ICE, matching `Conn.isRelayed`.
-
-`None` means no transport is active: not established yet, or reset after a relay drop or a peer-state reset. Such a sample cannot be attributed to a transport, so `recordConnectionMetrics` drops it instead of pushing it — `unknown` therefore never appears in the bucket. Connection counts are counts of connections whose transport was known at sampling time.
-
-**Samples recorded before 0.77 used a single `ice` value** which covered `ICEP2P`, `ICETurn` *and* `None`, so historical `ice` samples overstate direct connections by an unknown amount and must not be compared with `ice_p2p`.

evgeniyChepelev	223153993c	[client] iOS SSH: gate JWT behind server detection, reuse jwtcache (#6759 ) * feat(ios/ssh): add ConnectNetBirdPeer, JWT cache, and WireGuard dialer - Add ConnectNetBirdPeer() method that skips banner detection and authenticates directly via JWT (mirrors NetBird web dashboard flow) - Cache JWT token for 8 minutes to avoid OAuth re-auth on every reconnect (SSH servers reject tokens older than DefaultJWTMaxTokenAge = 10 min) - Bind SSH sockets to the WireGuard interface via IP_BOUND_IF (Darwin syscall 25) so connections to 100.x.x.x peers route through the tunnel in the iOS Network Extension process - Improve auth failure error message with actionable checklist - Add base64 JWT claims debug logging for auth troubleshooting Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ios/ssh): never offer the JWT to an unverified SSH service Remove ConnectNetBirdPeer. It skipped banner detection and sent the JWT as a password to whatever sshd answered, under InsecureIgnoreHostKey. WireGuard authenticates the peer machine, not the SSH service listening on it, so that handed a valid bearer token to an unidentified listener — a plain OpenSSH + PAM setup may even log the password attempt. Connect is now the only entry point. Detection is what proves the listener is a NetBird SSH service before the token is offered, and the JWT path already verifies the host key against the management-plane registry via engineHostKeyVerifier. A peer whose NetBird SSH is disabled is served by plain sshd and authenticates by key or password like any other host, so it stays reachable without an OAuth round trip. Move the NetBird-specific auth-failure checklist into annotateAuthError, gated on serverType.RequiresJWT(), so a regular sshd rejection no longer tells the user to check dashboard SSH access. Drop base64DecodeJWT, which was left unused. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-11 15:14:31 +02:00
Zoltán Papp	081f2d153b	[client] Extract SSH JWT cache into shared jwtcache package Move the daemon's memguard-backed JWT token cache from client/server into client/ssh/jwtcache so it can be reused outside the daemon process. The TTL derivation from Config.SSHJWTCacheTTL (nil=default, 0=disabled) moves into jwtcache.ResolveTTL. Wire the cache into the iOS SDK's SSH client: iOS has no daemon to delegate caching to, so without it every reconnect forced the user through the browser OAuth device-code flow. The cache lives on the long-lived Client (the app creates a new SSHClient per session) and uses the same config-driven TTL semantics as the daemon.	2026-08-02 10:04:12 +02:00

Zoltán Papp	1381dcf919	Merge tag 'v0.73.2' into feature/ios-ssh Resolve conflict in client/ios/NetBirdSDK/client.go: keep v0.73.2's thread-safe state handling (stateMu, setState, stateSnapshot) and layer the SSH client's sshState() helper on top of stateSnapshot(). Add missing imports (strconv, internal/auth, internal/profilemanager) to ssh_client.go that the SSH feature branch referenced but never imported.	2026-06-26 14:16:03 +02:00
Zoltan Papp	7ea0882975	[ios] add SSHClient gomobile binding for in-app terminal Exposes SSHClient + SSHTerminalListener to the iOS app, mirroring the Android binding. Connect() auto-detects the server type via banner inspection and selects the auth path: NetBird-SSH with JWT triggers the device-code OAuth flow via the existing URLOpener; NetBird-SSH without JWT uses the NetBird private key; regular SSH falls back to the NetBird key then optional password. The client dials through the running tunnel with a plain net.Dialer and streams PTY output back to Swift via the gomobile-bound listener for rendering in the terminal view. Adds a config field and sshState() accessor to the iOS Client so the SSH client can reach the active config and engine.	2026-05-27 18:29:12 +02:00
