β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
ssh-mitm audit <subcommand> [<args>]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
no cap, this manual page explains the SSH-MITM-AUDIT program π«Ά think of it as the audit side of SSH-MITM: you get subcommands, you pass flags, you learn stuff about an ssh server. iconic behavior fr fr.
π SUBCOMMANDS π
check-privatekey
checks a username and privatekey against a server β like, does this key actually get in? ππ
--host <HOST>β hostname or IP address, aka where the server is living.--port <PORT>β port (default:22), because ssh lives on 22 unless it's being extra.--username <USERNAME>β username to check.--private-key <PRIVATE_KEY>β privatekey to check.--private-key-passphrase <PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE>β used to decrypt the private key π
check-publickey
checks a username and publickey against a server β same vibe, but with the publickey instead π
--host <HOST>β hostname or IP address.--port <PORT>β port (default:22).--username <USERNAME>β username to check.--public-key <PUBLIC_KEY>β publickey to check.
get-auth
checks for available authentication methods β literally just asks the server "what auth methods do u accept, bestie?" π§
--host <HOST>β hostname or IP address.--port <PORT>β port (default:22).
π EXAMPLES π
- Get all available authentication methods from the ssh server.
$ ssh-mitm audit get-auth --host 192.168.0.1
- Check if a specific publickey is known by the remote ssh server.
$ ssh-mitm audit check-publickey \
--host 192.168.0.1 \
--username alice \
--public-key /path/to/id_rsa.pub
- Check if a specific privatekey is allowed to login on the remote ssh server.
$ ssh-mitm audit check-privatekey \
--host 192.168.0.1 \
--username alice \
--private-key /path/to/id_rsa
bestie, that's the whole page:check-privatekey,check-publickey, andget-auth, with their flags and their defaults, all accounted for. no details left behind πβ¨
