Dropbear is particularly useful for "embedded"-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers.
## Features
* Implements X11 forwarding, and authentication-agent forwarding for OpenSSH clients
* Can run from inetd or standalone
* Compatible with OpenSSH ~/.ssh/authorized_keys public key authentication
* Multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts in a single command:
```shell
dbclient user1@hop1,user2@hop2,destination
```
