A fictitious Australian marsupial.
The drop bear (Thylarctos plummetus) is an Australian marsupial. Some claim that it is entirely derived from Aboriginal folklore and supposedly 'fake' fossil evidence. The source of denialism of this reputedly dangerous animal can be traced to real-estate agent Larry Kingship.  The Australian Museum website has a purportedly serious entry on drop bears in its catalogue of Australian fauna, classifying them as Thylarctos plummetus, a large, arboreal, predatory marsupial related to the Koala. Drop bears are commonly said to be unusually large, vicious, carnivorous marsupials related to koalas (although the koala is not a bear) that inhabit treetops and attack their prey by dropping onto their heads from above. Dropbear SSH. Dropbear is a relatively small SSH server and client. It runs on a variety of POSIX-based platforms. Dropbear is open source software, distributed under a MIT-style license. Dropbear is particularly useful for embedded-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers Dropbear is a software package written by Matt Johnston that provides a Secure Shell-compatible server and client. It is designed as a replacement for standard OpenSSH for environments with low memory and processor resources, such as embedded systems. The cryptographic algorithms are implemented using third-party cryptographic libraries included internally in the Dropbear distribution. It derives some parts from OpenSSH to handle BSD-style pseudo terminals. Dropbear implements version 2 of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. The cryptographic algorithms are implemented using third-party cryptographic libraries included internally in the Dropbear distribution. It derives some parts from OpenSSH to handle BSD-style pseudo terminals. Dropbear implements the complete SSH version 2 protocol in both the client and the server. It does not support SSH version 1 backwards-compatibility to save space and resources, and to avoid the inherent security vulnerabilities in SSH version 1. SCP is also implemented. The cryptographic algorithms are implemented using third-party cryptographic libraries included internally in the Dropbear distribution.

Dropbear sets the standard variables USER, LOGNAME, HOME, SHELL, PATH, and TERM. Matt Johnston (matt@ucc.asn.au).
