ssh-agent creates a socket and then checks the connections from ssh. Everyone who is able to connect to this socket also has access to the ssh-agent. The permissions are set as in a usual Linux or Unix system. When the agent starts, it creates a new directory in /tmp with restrictive permissions. The socket is located in this directory.
ssh-add and ssh-agent, utilities to ease authentication by holding keys ready and avoid the need to enter passphrases every time they are used. ssh-keygen, a tool to inspect and generate the RSA, DSA and elliptic-curve keys that are used for user and host authentication. ssh-keyscan, which scans a list of hosts and collects their public keys.
In 1999, developers, desiring availability of a free software version, restarted software development from the 1.2.12 release of the original SSH program, which was the last released under an open source license. [27]
ssh-keygen is a standard component of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol suite found on Unix, Unix-like and Microsoft Windows computer systems used to establish secure shell sessions between remote computers over insecure networks, through the use of various cryptographic techniques. The ssh-keygen utility is used to generate, manage, and convert ...
PuTTY (/ ˈ p ʌ t i /) [4] is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. It can also connect to a serial port. The name "PuTTY" has no official meaning. [5]
The software is developed and published by Bitvise Limited. The first released product was Bitvise SSH Server, then named WinSSHD, in 2001, and it was shortly followed by Tunnelier, now Bitvise SSH Client. There have been 8 major releases of the software so far. [6]
The SSH developers have stated that the major impact of the attack is the capability to degrade the keystroke timing obfuscation features of SSH. [6] The designers of SSH have implemented a fix for the Terrapin attack, but the fix is only fully effective when both client and server implementations have been upgraded to support it. [1]
The client initiates SSH or RSH connection with echo FISH:;/bin/sh as the command executed on remote machine. This should make it possible for the server to distinguish FISH connections from normal RSH or SSH. The first two commands sent to the server are FISH and VER to negotiate FISH protocol, its version and extensions.
