sessionStats(1)

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're doing sessionStats today 💖 she's a tiny cjdns tool whose whole manual name is literally "show cjdns crypto sessions" — that's the vibe, that's the assignment, that's the entire personality of this page, and everything below is her. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sessionStats

No flags. No arguments. No options to memorize. She takes literally nothing and gives you the whole tea. 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

cjdroute always talks to other nodes over a "session", and it's giving very much the same energy as a TLS session. A session isn't just for chatting with each peer, bestie — you also need one when you're talking to intermediate nodes to ask them about their peers while you're planning out a route. Like, you can't just slide into the group chat without a handshake first. 🫶

The cjdns protocol offers Perfect Forward Secrecy, which is genuinely iconic of it. Every single session gets its own random symmetric key that encrypts that session. So if a node gets compromised 😭, the attacker can get the session keys and read current and future sessions. That's the bad part. But here's the slay: the session keys are securely erased when a session is destroyed, so past sessions — anything from before the compromise — cannot be read. Periodt. The lifetime of a session is somewhat random, because of course it is. cjdroute caches recently active sessions, and destroys sessions that haven't been used in a while. It's giving spring cleaning but for crypto. 🧹✨

🎀 USAGE 🎀

Running sessionStats requires admin privilege, no cap. The cjdnsadmin lib will try to read /etc/cjdroute.conf for the admin password. That will normally succeed only for root — so if you're just some random user, don't be surprised. Otherwise, it tries ~/.cjdnsadmin. 🦋

📁 FILES 📁

• ~/.cjdnsadmin
• /etc/cjdroute.conf

💀 BUGS 💀

If you get a TypeError, you probably have the wrong admin password. That's the whole bug note. That's the lore. Don't overthink it, bestie. 🙈
