I clean up the OpenSSH mess on my Debian Etch box

05/17/2008  II
Relevance: 10.60
Cleaning up the mess left by the OpenSSH vulnerability in Debian and Debian-based distros (including Ubuntu) is easier than I thought. For those who haven't heard about the problem, I refer you to my recent entry, or invite you to Google it. I've had my Etch box -- which has both OpenSSH-client and OpenSSH-server installed -- turned off for the past few days. I'm using it as a Web server on the local network, and yes, I've been SSHing into the box for weeks now. Here's what I did ...

Trying OpenSSH in Debian Etch ... plus thoughts on security, sudo and nano vs. vi

03/05/2008  I
Relevance: 9.25
I did a Debian Etch install on one of my test machine drives recently, and today I added the openssh-server package so I could play around with PuTTY and Xming. Once I installed openssh-server (I used Synaptic, in case you were wondering), using PuTTY to start the connection, I was asked whether or not I expected the encryption key to change (I was, since this is the Debian install, not OpenBSD, which I've been using until now).

Put your OpenSSH server in SSHjail

04/24/2007  II
Relevance: 8.66
Jailing is a mechanism to virtually change a system's root directory. By employing this method, administrators can isolate services so that they cannot access the real filesystem structure. You should run unsecured and sensitive network services in a chroot jail, because if a hacker can break into a vulnerable service he could exploit your whole system. If a service is jailed, the intruder will be able to see only what you want him to see -- that is, nothing useful. Some of the most frequent targets of attack, which therefore should be jailed, are BIND, Apache, FTP, and SSH. SSHjail is a patch for the OpenSSH daemon. It modifies two OpenSSH files (session.c and version.h) and allows you to jail your SSH service without any need for SSH reconfiguration.

OpenSSH with Public Key Cryptography Tutorial

10/13/2006  IIIIIIIIII
Relevance: 8.03
This tutorial is intended for people with at least basic Unix knowledge, such as mounting file systems and copying files. OpenSSH, an OpenBSD project, is an incredibly secure implementation of the SSH protocol, a way of logging into a remote machine. For users of outdated protocols such as RSH, rlogin, and Telnet, it's an updated, secure replacement. For those who have never used anything like it, SSH can become a very valuable tool.

c2k8 Hackathon Summary: Part 8

08/06/2008  II
Relevance: 7.00
I often find it ironic and a little sad that one of the most important security applications on the Internet is so poorly funded. For anyone that manages machines remotely and is concerned about security, it is perhaps the most important application to rely on for security and stability. I'm sure you know which application I am referring to, but do you know that it is the de facto world standard in its class on the Internet? I wonder if there is any other application on the Internet, proprietary or Open Source, that comes close to the market penetration that OpenSSH has earned compared to competing alternatives.[While not about Linux, this look at OpenSSH (and OpenBSD development in general) is well worth reading - sr]

Quick Tip: Use remote Linux GUI system, admin tools locally

04/12/2007  IIIII
Relevance: 6.28
Technology has changed dramatically in the last decade. OpenSSH is one the best project. It allows you to control remote Linux / UNIX server using command line or GUI tools. Do you miss GUI configuration server management tools such as Debian network-admin or Redhat/Cent os system-config-* tools/utilities while administrating a Linux server? Do you want to run GUI admin tools on a remote Linux server and get display on local desktop or laptop X server system? This quick howto demonstrate the power ofX11 forwarding using OpenSSH.
