ssh - Interactive program ignores keystrokes on a CygWin OpenSSH Server

I am running Windows 7 SP1.



I have installed CygWin with OpenSSH, so now I have a running SSH Daemon that seems to be working OK, except for a problem with an interactive command-line program that requires keystrokes to be managed.



This is the program (OCLHashCat, a GPU number cruncher):



D:\Temporal\>d:\Programas\HashCat\OCLHashCat\oclhashcat64.exe Test.hccap -m 2500 -a 3 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d   | tee Resultado.txt


oclHashcat v1.31 starting...

As you can see, I tried by pressing s and q , but the interactive program did not respond to keystrokes until I did Ctrl+C.



Furthermore, the process oclhashcat64.exe remained in memory, and I had to kill it manually.



I have checked with these SSH clients; I think all of them are in their latest version:




  • Putty.


  • GNU SSH command line tool (included in modern Ubuntu, for example).

  • Bitvise SSH Client.



I have installed (on another TCP port) the Bitvise SSH server too, and I don’t have this keystrokes problem using it, so it could be some sort of OpenSSH matter.



The issue is I need access to CygWin’s commands, so I need to connect via the OpenSSH version installed within CygWin. The Bitvise is one only gives me access to CMD Shell or PowerShell.
I can not try this OCLHashCat program in another computer or operating system, due to it requires GPU high-end devices, perfect drivers configuration, etc…



How could I solve the keystroke issue?
