SSH Audit
Page content
ssh-audit is a tool for ssh server auditing.
Features
SSH1 and SSH2 protocol server support;
grab banner, recognize device or software and operating system, detect compression;
gather key-exchange, host-key, encryption and message authentication code algorithms;
output algorithm information (available since, removed/disabled, unsafe/weak/legacy, etc);
output algorithm recommendations (append or remove based on recognized software version);
output security information (related issues, assigned CVE list, etc);
analyze SSH version compatibility based on algorithm information;
historical information from OpenSSH, Dropbear SSH and libssh;
