**ssh-audit** is a tool for ssh server & client configuration auditing.

## Features
- SSH1 and SSH2 protocol server support;
- analyze SSH client configuration;
- grab banner, recognize device or software and operating system, detect compression;
- gather key-exchange, host-key, encryption and message authentication code algorithms;
- output algorithm information (available since, removed/disabled, unsafe/weak/legacy, etc);
- output algorithm recommendations (append or remove based on recognized software version);
- output security information (related issues, assigned CVE list, etc);
- analyze SSH version compatibility based on algorithm information;
- historical information from OpenSSH, Dropbear SSH and libssh;
- runs on Linux and Windows;
- no dependencies

## Usage
```
usage: ssh-audit.py [-1246pbcnjvlt] <host>

   -1,  --ssh1             force ssh version 1 only
   -2,  --ssh2             force ssh version 2 only
   -4,  --ipv4             enable IPv4 (order of precedence)
   -6,  --ipv6             enable IPv6 (order of precedence)
   -p,  --port=<port>      port to connect
   -b,  --batch            batch output
   -c,  --client-audit     starts a server on port 2222 to audit client
                               software config (use -p to change port;
                               use -t to change timeout)
   -n,  --no-colors        disable colors
   -j,  --json             JSON output
   -v,  --verbose          verbose output
   -l,  --level=<level>    minimum output level (info|warn|fail)
   -t,  --timeout=<secs>   timeout (in seconds) for connection and reading
                               (default: 5)
```
* if both IPv4 and IPv6 are used, order of precedence can be set by using either `-46` or `-64`.  
* batch flag `-b` will output sections without header and without empty lines (implies verbose flag).  
* verbose flag `-v` will prefix each line with section type and algorithm name.  

### Server Audit Example
Below is a screen shot of the server-auditing output when connecting to an unhardened OpenSSH v5.3 service:

### Client Audit Example
Below is a screen shot of the client-auditing output when an unhardened OpenSSH v7.2 client connects:
