ENiGMA½ is a modern BBS software with a nostalgic flair!
Below are just some of the features ENiGMA½ supports out of the box: * Multi platform — Anywhere Node.js runs likely works (known to work under Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OS X and Windows) * Unlimited multi node support (for all those BBS "callers"!) * Highly customizable via HJSON based configuration, menus, and themes in addition to JavaScript based mods * MCI support for lightbars, toggles, input areas, and so on plus many other other bells and whistles * Telnet, SSH, and both secure and non-secure WebSocket access built in! Additional servers are easy to implement * CP437 and UTF-8 output * SyncTERM style font and baud emulation support. Display PC/DOS and Amiga style artwork as it's intended! In general, ANSI-BBS / cterm.txt / bansi.txt are followed for expected BBS behavior. * Full SAUCE support. * Renegade style pipe color codes. * SQLite storage of users, message areas, etc. * Strong PBKDF2 backed password encryption. * Support for 2-Factor Authentication with One-Time-Passwords * Door support including common dropfile formats for legacy DOS doors. Built in BBSLink, DoorParty, and Exodus! * Structured Bunyan logging! * Message networks with FidoNet Type Network (FTN) + BinkleyTerm Style Outbound (BSO) message import/export. Messages Bases can also be exposed via Gopher, or NNTP! * Gazelle inspired File Bases including fast fully indexed full text search (FTS), #tags, and HTTP(S) temporary download URLs using a built in web server. Legacy X/Y/Z modem also supported! * Upload processor supporting FILE_ID.DIZ and NFO extraction, year estimation, and more! * ANSI support in the Full Screen Editor (FSE), file descriptions, etc. * Expandable achievement system — BBSing gamified! * A remote accessible Waiting For Caller (WFC)!
