Basic server auditing: ``` ssh-audit localhost ssh-audit 127.0.0.1 ssh-audit 127.0.0.1:222 ssh-audit ::1 ssh-audit [::1]:222 ``` To run a standard audit against many servers (place targets into servers.txt, one on each line in the format of `HOST[:PORT]`): ``` ssh-audit -T servers.txt ``` To audit a client configuration (listens on port 2222 by default; connect using `ssh -p 2222 anything@localhost`): ``` ssh-audit -c ``` To audit a client configuration, with a listener on port 4567: ``` ssh-audit -c -p 4567 ``` To list all official built-in policies (hint: use resulting policy names with `-P`/`--policy`): ``` ssh-audit -L ``` To run a policy audit against a server: ``` ssh-audit -P ["policy name" | path/to/server_policy.txt] targetserver ``` To run a policy audit against a client: ``` ssh-audit -c -P ["policy name" | path/to/client_policy.txt] ``` To run a policy audit against many servers: ``` ssh-audit -T servers.txt -P ["policy name" | path/to/server_policy.txt] ``` To create a policy based on a target server (which can be manually edited): ``` ssh-audit -M new_policy.txt targetserver ``` To run the DHEat CPU exhaustion DoS attack ([CVE-2002-20001](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2002-20001)) against a target using 10 concurrent sockets: ``` ssh-audit --dheat=10 targetserver ``` To run the DHEat attack using the `diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256` key exchange algorithm: ``` ssh-audit --dheat=10:diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 targetserver ``` To run the DHEat attack using the `diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256` key exchange algorithm along with very small but non-standard packet lengths (this may result in the same CPU exhaustion, but with many less bytes per second being sent): ``` ssh-audit --dheat=10:diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256:4 targetserver ``` ## Screenshots ### Server Standard Audit Example Below is a screen shot of the standard server-auditing output when connecting to an unhardened OpenSSH v5.3 service: ![screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2982011/64388792-317e6f80-d00e-11e9-826e-a4934769bb07.png) ### Server Policy Audit Example Below is a screen shot of the policy auditing output when connecting to an un-hardened Ubuntu Server 20.04 machine (hint: use `-L`/`--list-policies` to see names of built-in policies to use with `-P`/`--policy`): ![screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2982011/94370881-95178700-00c0-11eb-8705-3157a4669dc0.png) After applying the steps in the hardening guide (see below), the output changes to the following: ![screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2982011/94370873-87620180-00c0-11eb-9a59-469f61a56ce1.png) ### Client Standard Audit Example Below is a screen shot of the client-auditing output when an unhardened OpenSSH v7.2 client connects: ![client_screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2982011/68867998-b946c100-06c4-11ea-975f-1f47e4178a74.png) ## Hardening Guides Guides to harden server & client configuration can be found here: [https://www.ssh-audit.com/hardening_guides.html](https://www.ssh-audit.com/hardening_guides.html) ## Pre-Built Packages Pre-built packages are available for Windows (see the [Releases](https://github.com/jtesta/ssh-audit/releases) page), PyPI, Snap, and Docker: To install from PyPI: ``` $ pip3 install ssh-audit ``` To install the Snap package: ``` $ snap install ssh-audit ``` To install from Dockerhub: ``` $ docker pull positronsecurity/ssh-audit ``` (Then run with: `docker run -it --rm -p 2222:2222 positronsecurity/ssh-audit 10.1.1.1`) The status of various other platform packages can be found below (via Repology): Packaging status ## Web Front-End For convenience, a web front-end on top of the command-line tool is available at [https://www.ssh-audit.com/](https://www.ssh-audit.com/). ## ChangeLog ### v3.3.0-dev (???) - Added Python 3.13 support. - Added built-in policies for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server & client, OpenSSH 9.8, and OpenSSH 9.9. - Added IPv6 support for DHEat and connection rate tests. - Added TCP port information to JSON policy scan results; credit [Fabian Malte Kopp](https://github.com/dreizehnutters). - Added LANcom LCOS server recognition and Ed448 key extraction; credit [Daniel Lenski](https://github.com/dlenskiSB). - Fixed crash when running with `-P` and `-T` options simultaneously. - Fixed host key tests from only reporting a key type at most once despite multiple hosts supporting it; credit [Daniel Lenski](https://github.com/dlenskiSB). - Fixed DHEat connection rate testing on MacOS X and BSD platforms; credit [Drew Noel](https://github.com/drewmnoel) and [Michael Osipov](https://github.com/michael-o). - Fixed invalid JSON output when a socket error occurs while performing a client audit. - When scanning multiple targets (using `-T`/`--targets`), the `-p`/`--port` option will now be used as the default port (set to 22 if `-p`/`--port` is not given). Hosts specified in the file can override this default with an explicit port number (i.e.: "host1:1234"). For example, when using `-T targets.txt -p 222`, all hosts in `targets.txt` that do not explicitly include a port number will default to 222; when using `-T targets.txt` (without `-p`), all hosts will use a default of 22. - Added 1 new cipher: `grasshopper-ctr128`. - Added 2 new key exchanges: `mlkem768x25519-sha256`, `sntrup761x25519-sha512`. ### v3.2.0 (2024-04-22) - Added implementation of the DHEat denial-of-service attack (see `--dheat` option; [CVE-2002-20001](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2002-20001)). - Expanded filter of CBC ciphers to flag for the Terrapin vulnerability. It now includes more rarely found ciphers. - Fixed parsing of `ecdsa-sha2-nistp*` CA signatures on host keys. Additionally, they are now flagged as potentially back-doored, just as standard host keys are. - Gracefully handle rare exceptions (i.e.: crashes) while performing GEX tests. - The built-in man page (`-m`, `--manual`) is now available on Docker, PyPI, and Snap builds, in addition to the Windows build. - Snap builds are now architecture-independent. - Changed Docker base image from `python:3-slim` to `python:3-alpine`, resulting in a 59% reduction in image size; credit [Daniel Thamdrup](https://github.com/dallemon). - Added built-in policies for Amazon Linux 2023, Debian 12, OpenSSH 9.7, and Rocky Linux 9. - Built-in policies now include a change log (use `-L -v` to view them). - Custom policies now support the `allow_algorithm_subset_and_reordering` directive to allow targets to pass with a subset and/or re-ordered list of host keys, kex, ciphers, and MACs. This allows for the creation of a baseline policy where targets can optionally implement stricter controls; partial credit [yannik1015](https://github.com/yannik1015). - Custom policies now support the `allow_larger_keys` directive to allow targets to pass with larger host keys, CA keys, and Diffie-Hellman keys. This allows for the creation of a baseline policy where targets can optionally implement stricter controls; partial credit [Damian Szuberski](https://github.com/szubersk). - Color output is disabled if the `NO_COLOR` environment variable is set (see https://no-color.org/). - Added 1 new key exchange algorithm: `gss-nistp384-sha384-*`. - Added 1 new cipher: `aes128-ocb@libassh.org`. ### v3.1.0 (2023-12-20) - Added test for the Terrapin message prefix truncation vulnerability ([CVE-2023-48795](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-48795)). - Dropped support for Python 3.7 (EOL was reached in June 2023). - Added Python 3.12 support. - In server policies, reduced expected DH modulus sizes from 4096 to 3072 to match the [online hardening guides](https://ssh-audit.com/hardening_guides.html) (note that 3072-bit moduli provide the equivalent of 128-bit symmetric security). - In Ubuntu 22.04 client policy, moved host key types `sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com` and `ssh-ed25519` to the end of all certificate types. - Updated Ubuntu Server & Client policies for 20.04 and 22.04 to account for key exchange list changes due to Terrapin vulnerability patches. - Re-organized option host key types for OpenSSH 9.2 server policy to correspond with updated Debian 12 hardening guide. - Added built-in policies for OpenSSH 9.5 and 9.6. - Added an `additional_notes` field to the JSON output. ### v3.0.0 (2023-09-07) - Results from concurrent scans against multiple hosts are no longer improperly combined; bug discovered by [Adam Russell](https://github.com/thecliguy). - Hostname resolution failure no longer causes scans against multiple hosts to terminate unexpectedly; credit [Dani Cuesta](https://github.com/daniel-cues). - Algorithm recommendations resulting from warnings are now printed in yellow instead of red; credit [Adam Russell](https://github.com/thecliguy). - Added failure, warning, and info notes to JSON output (note that this results in a breaking change to the banner protocol, "enc", and "mac" fields);
