   -b,  --batch            batch output
   -c,  --client-audit     starts a server on port 2222 to audit client
                               software config (use -p to change port;
                               use -t to change timeout)
        --conn-rate-test=N[:max_rate]  perform a connection rate test (useful
                                       for collecting metrics related to
                                       susceptibility of the DHEat vuln).
                                       Testing is conducted with N concurrent
                                       sockets with an optional maximum rate
                                       of connections per second.
   -d,  --debug            Enable debug output.
        --dheat=N[:kex[:e_len]]    continuously perform the DHEat DoS attack
                                   (CVE-2002-20001) against the target using N
                                   concurrent sockets.  Optionally, a specific
                                   key exchange algorithm can be specified
                                   instead of allowing it to be automatically
                                   chosen.  Additionally, a small length of
                                   the fake e value sent to the server can
                                   be chosen for a more efficient attack (such
                                   as 4).
   -g,  --gex-test=<x[,y,...]>  dh gex modulus size test
                   <min1:pref1:max1[,min2:pref2:max2,...]>
                   <x-y[:step]>
   -j,  --json             JSON output (use -jj to enable indents)
   -l,  --level=<level>    minimum output level (info|warn|fail)
   -L,  --list-policies    list all the official, built-in policies. Use with -v
                               to view policy change logs.
        --lookup=<alg1,alg2,...>    looks up an algorithm(s) without
                                    connecting to a server
   -m,  --manual           print the man page (Docker, PyPI, Snap, and Windows
                                    builds only)
   -M,  --make-policy=<policy.txt>  creates a policy based on the target server
                                    (i.e.: the target server has the ideal
                                    configuration that other servers should
                                    adhere to)
   -n,  --no-colors        disable colors
   -p,  --port=<port>      port to connect
   -P,  --policy=<"policy name" | policy.txt>  run a policy test using the
                                                   specified policy
        --skip-rate-test   skip the connection rate test during standard audits
                               (used to safely infer whether the DHEat attack
                               is viable)
   -t,  --timeout=<secs>   timeout (in seconds) for connection and reading
                               (default: 5)
   -T,  --targets=<hosts.txt>  a file containing a list of target hosts (one
                                   per line, format HOST[:PORT])
        --threads=<threads>    number of threads to use when scanning multiple
                                   targets (-T/--targets) (default: 32)
   -v,  --verbose          verbose output

if both IPv4 and IPv6 are used, order of precedence can be set by using either -46 or -64.
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.
an exit code of 0 is returned when all algorithms are considered secure (for a standard audit), or when a policy check passes (for a policy audit).

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) 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

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.
Added LANcom LCOS server recognition and Ed448 key extraction; credit Daniel Lenski.
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.
Fixed DHEat connection rate testing on MacOS X and BSD platforms; credit Drew Noel and Michael Osipov.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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).
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 (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.
Hostname resolution failure no longer causes scans against multiple hosts to terminate unexpectedly; credit Dani Cuesta.
Algorithm recommendations resulting from warnings are now printed in yellow instead of red; credit Adam Russell.
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); credit Bareq Al-Azzawi.
Docker Makefile now creates multi-arch builds for amd64, arm64, and armv7; credit Sebastian Cohnen.
Fixed crash during GEX tests.
Refined GEX testing against OpenSSH servers: when the fallback mechanism is suspected of being triggered, perform an additional test to obtain more accurate results.
The color of all notes will be printed in green when the related algorithm is rated good.
Prioritized host key certificate algorithms for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS client policy.
Marked all NIST K-, B-, and T-curves as unproven since they are so rarely used.
Added built-in policy for OpenSSH 9.4.

Snap packages now print more user-friendly error messages when permission errors are encountered.
JSON 'target' field now always includes port number; credit tomatohater1337.
JSON output now includes recommendations and CVE data.
Mixed host key/CA key types (i.e.: RSA host keys signed with ED25519 CAs, etc.) are now properly handled.
Warnings are now printed for 2048-bit moduli; partial credit Adam Russell.
SHA-1 algorithms now cause failures.
CBC mode ciphers are now warnings instead of failures.
Generic failure/warning messages replaced with more specific reasons (i.e.: 'using weak cipher' => 'using broken RC4 cipher').
Updated built-in policies to include missing host key size information.
Added built-in policies for OpenSSH 8.8, 8.9, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3.
Added 33 new host keys: dsa2048-sha224@libassh.org, dsa2048-sha256@libassh.org, dsa3072-sha256@libassh.org, ecdsa-sha2-1.3.132.0.10-cert-v01@openssh.com, eddsa-e382-shake256@libassh.org, eddsa-e521-shake256@libassh.org, null, pgp-sign-dss, pgp-sign-rsa, spki-sign-dss, spki-sign-rsa, ssh-dss-sha224@ssh.com, ssh-dss-sha384@ssh.com, ssh-dss-sha512@ssh.com, ssh-ed448-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-rsa-sha224@ssh.com, ssh-rsa-sha2-256, ssh-rsa-sha2-512, ssh-rsa-sha384@ssh.com, ssh-rsa-sha512@ssh.com, ssh-xmss-cert-v01@openssh.com, ssh-xmss@openssh.com, webauthn-sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com, x509v3-ecdsa-sha2-1.3.132.0.10, x509v3-sign-dss-sha1, x509v3-sign-dss-sha224@ssh.com, x509v3-sign-dss-sha256@ssh.com, x509v3-sign-dss-sha384@ssh.com, x509v3-sign-dss-sha512@ssh.com, x509v3-sign-rsa-sha1, x509v3-sign-rsa-sha224@ssh.com, x509v3-sign-rsa-sha384@ssh.com, x509v3-sign-rsa-sha512@ssh.com.
