ssh-audit

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 security information (related issues, assigned CVE list, etc);
• analyze SSH version compatibility based on algorithm information;
• historical information from OpenSSH and Dropbear SSH;
• no dependencies, compatible with Python2 and Python3;

Usage

usage: ssh-audit.py [-bnv] [-l <level>] <host[:port]>

   -1,  --ssh1             force ssh version 1 only
   -2,  --ssh2             force ssh version 2 only
   -b,  --batch            batch output
   -n,  --no-colors        disable colors
   -v,  --verbose          verbose output
   -l,  --level=<level>    minimum output level (info|warn|fail)
   

• batch flag -b will output sections without header and without empty lines (implies verbose flag).
• verbose flag -v will prefix each line with section type and algorithm name.
