Check SSH version

openssh-server (ubuntu)

openssh-server (debian)

Config Location

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Sample Output:
TO-DO
# Grep contents
grep -Ev "^#" /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep .

Sample Output:
TO-DO

Generate SSH Key

ssh-keygen

Sample Output:
TO-DO
#Set filename, leave passphase blank
./id_rsa

Sample Output:
TO-DO
#After Creation
chmod 600 id_rsa

Sample Output:
TO-DO

Check Public Key

ssh-keygen -l -f id_rsa

Sample Output:
TO-DO

Generate no passphrase SSH key from encrypted key

openssl rsa -in id_rsa_encrypted -out ./id_rsa

Sample Output:
TO-DO

Convert .ppk to .pem format

# Install
sudo apt install putty-tools

Sample Output:
TO-DO
# Convert to private key in pem format
puttygen key.ppk -O private-openssh -o key.pem

Sample Output:
TO-DO
# Convert to public key in pem format
puttygen key.ppk -O public-openssh -o key.pem.pub

Sample Output:
TO-DO

Add SSH Access to Target

cat id_rsa.pub

Sample Output:
TO-DO
#Copy and Paste to Target
echo <BASE64_PUB_KEY> >> /home/<USER>/.ssh/authorized_keys

Sample Output:
TO-DO

SSH Connect

ssh <USER>@<TARGET>

Sample Output:
TO-DO
# After first connection (i.e., after 'yes' to fingerprint prompt)
sshpass -p '<PASSWORD>' ssh <USER>@<TARGET>

Sample Output:
TO-DO
ssh <USER>@<TARGET> -i id_rsa

Sample Output:
TO-DO
# Fix: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss
ssh <USER>@<TARGET> -i id_rsa -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa

Sample Output:
TO-DO
# Fix: sign_and_send_pubkey: no mutual signature supported 
ssh <USER>@<TARGET> -i id_rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=ssh-rsa

Sample Output:
TO-DO

Note: Always append a new line in id_rsa key

# Spawn target shell to escape restricted shell
ssh <USER>@<TARGET> -t bash

Sample Output:
TO-DO
