.TH SSH-AUDIT 1 "July 16, 2020"
|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
\fBssh-audit\fP \- SSH server & client configuration auditor
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B ssh-audit
|
||||
.RI [ options ] " <target_host>"
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
\fBssh-audit\fP analyzes the configuration of SSH servers & clients, then warns the user of weak, obsolete, and/or un-tested cryptographic primitives. It is very useful for hardening SSH tunnels, which by default tend to be optimized for compatibility, not security.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
See <https://www.ssh\-audit.com/> for official hardening guides for common platforms.

.TP
|
||||
.B -M, \-\-make-policy=<policy.txt>

.B -P, \-\-policy=<policy.txt>
|
||||
.br
|
||||
Runs a policy audit against a target using the specified policy (see \fBPOLICY AUDIT\fP section for detailed description of this mode of operation). Combine with -c/--client-audit to audit a client configuration instead of a server. Use -L/--list-policies to list all official, built-in policies for common systems.

|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B -v, \-\-verbose
|
||||
.br
|
||||
Enable verbose output.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.SH STANDARD AUDIT
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
By default, \fBssh-audit\fP performs a standard audit. That is, it enumerates all host key types, key exchanges, ciphers, MACs, and other information, then color-codes them in output to the user. Cryptographic primitives with potential issues are displayed in yellow; primitives with serious flaws are displayed in red.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.SH POLICY AUDIT
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
When the -P/--policy=<policy.txt> option is used, \fBssh-audit\fP performs a policy audit. The target's host key types, key exchanges, ciphers, MACs, and other information is compared to a set of expected values defined in the specified policy file. If everything matches, only a short message stating a passing result is reported. Otherwise, the field(s) that did not match are reported.
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Policy auditing is helpful for ensuring a group of related servers are properly hardened to an exact specification.
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The set of official built-in policies can be viewed with -L/--list-policies. Multiple servers can be audited with -T/--targets=<servers.txt>. Custom policies can be made from an ideal target server with -M/--make-policy=<custom_policy.txt>.

||||
1 = connection error
