Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol allowing secure remote login to a computer on a network using public-key cryptography.SSH client programs (such as ssh from OpenSSH) typically run for the duration of a remote login session and are configured to look for the user's private key in a file in the user's home directory (e.g., .ssh/id_rsa).
The OpenSSH server can authenticate users using the standard methods supported by the SSH protocol: with a password; public-key authentication, using per-user keys; host-based authentication, which is a secure version of rlogin 's host trust relationships using public keys; keyboard-interactive, a generic challenge–response mechanism, which ...
It is possible, however, to run it over SSH-1 (and some implementations support this) or other data streams. Running an SFTP server over SSH-1 is not platform-independent as SSH-1 does not support the concept of subsystems. An SFTP client willing to connect to an SSH-1 server needs to know the path to the SFTP server binary on the server side.
SSH operates as a layered protocol suite comprising three principal hierarchical components: the transport layer provides server authentication, confidentiality, and integrity; the user authentication protocol validates the user to the server; and the connection protocol multiplexes the encrypted tunnel into multiple logical communication channels.
The SSH server is configured to redirect data from a specified port (which is local to the host that runs the SSH client) through a secure tunnel to some specified destination host and port. The local port is on the same computer as the SSH client, and this port is the "forwarded port".
Featuring Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) as specified in secsh-srp [7] [8] besides, public-key authentication. Kerberos is somewhat supported as well. [citation needed] Currently however for password verification only, not as a single sign-on (SSO) method. [citation needed] lsh was started from scratch and predates OpenSSH. [9]
It's not just a server-side vulnerability, it's also a client-side vulnerability because the server, or whomever you connect to, is as able to ask you for a heartbeat back as you are to ask them. [82] The stolen data could contain usernames and passwords. [83] Reverse Heartbleed affected millions of application instances. [81]
In this mode, the client uses the control connection to send a PASV command to the server and then receives a server IP address and server port number from the server, [9] which the client then uses to open a data connection from an arbitrary client port to the server IP address and server port number received.
