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

[jtesta/ssh-audit](https://github.com/jtesta/ssh-audit/) (v2.0+) is the updated and maintained version of ssh-audit forked from [arthepsy/ssh-audit](https://github.com/arthepsy/ssh-audit) (v1.x) due to inactivity.

* 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.
* an exit code of 0 is returned when all algorithms are considered secure (for a standard audit), or when a policy check passes (for a policy audit).

Basic server auditing:
```
ssh-audit localhost
ssh-audit 127.0.0.1
ssh-audit 127.0.0.1:222
ssh-audit ::1
ssh-audit [::1]:222
```

To run a standard audit against many servers (place targets into servers.txt, one on each line in the format of `HOST[:PORT]`):

```
ssh-audit -T servers.txt
```

To audit a client configuration (listens on port 2222 by default; connect using `ssh -p 2222 anything@localhost`):

```
ssh-audit -c
```

To audit a client configuration, with a listener on port 4567:
```
ssh-audit -c -p 4567
```

To  list all official built-in policies (hint: use resulting policy names with `-P`/`--policy`):
```
ssh-audit -L
```

To run a policy audit against a server:
```
ssh-audit -P ["policy name" | path/to/server_policy.txt] targetserver
```

To run a policy audit against a client:
```
ssh-audit -c -P ["policy name" | path/to/client_policy.txt]
```

To run a policy audit against many servers:
```
ssh-audit -T servers.txt -P ["policy name" | path/to/server_policy.txt]
```

To create a policy based on a target server (which can be manually edited):
```
ssh-audit -M new_policy.txt targetserver
```

### Server Policy Audit Example
Below is a screen shot of the policy auditing output when connecting to an un-hardened Ubuntu Server 20.04 machine (hint: use `-L`/`--list-policies` to see names of built-in policies to use with `-P`/`--policy`):

After applying the steps in the hardening guide (see below), the output changes to the following:

## ChangeLog

### v3.2.0-dev (???)
 - Expanded filter of CBC ciphers to flag for the Terrapin vulnerability.  It now includes more rarely found ciphers.
 - Color output is disabled if the `NO_COLOR` environment variable is set (see https://no-color.org/).
 - Fixed parsing of ecdsa-sha2-nistp* CA signatures on host keys.  Additionally, they are now flagged as potentially back-doored, just as standard host keys are.
 - The built-in man page (`-m`, `--manual`) is now available on Docker, PyPI, and Snap builds, in addition to the Windows build.

### v3.1.0 (2023-12-20)
 - Added test for the Terrapin message prefix truncation vulnerability ([CVE-2023-48795](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-48795)).
 - Dropped support for Python 3.7 (EOL was reached in June 2023).
 - Added Python 3.12 support.
 - In server policies, reduced expected DH modulus sizes from 4096 to 3072 to match the [online hardening guides](https://ssh-audit.com/hardening_guides.html) (note that 3072-bit moduli provide the equivalent of 128-bit symmetric security).
 - In Ubuntu 22.04 client policy, moved host key types `sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com` and `ssh-ed25519` to the end of all certificate types.
 - Updated Ubuntu Server & Client policies for 20.04 and 22.04 to account for key exchange list changes due to Terrapin vulnerability patches.
 - Re-organized option host key types for OpenSSH 9.2 server policy to correspond with updated Debian 12 hardening guide.
 - Added built-in policies for OpenSSH 9.5 and 9.6.
 - Added an `additional_notes` field to the JSON output.

### v3.0.0 (2023-09-07)
 - Results from concurrent scans against multiple hosts are no longer improperly combined; bug discovered by [Adam Russell](https://github.com/thecliguy).
 - Hostname resolution failure no longer causes scans against multiple hosts to terminate unexpectedly; credit [Dani Cuesta](https://github.com/daniel-cues).
 - Algorithm recommendations resulting from warnings are now printed in yellow instead of red; credit [Adam Russell](https://github.com/thecliguy).
 - Added failure, warning, and info notes to JSON output (note that this results in a breaking change to the banner protocol, "enc", and "mac" fields); credit [Bareq Al-Azzawi](https://github.com/BareqAZ).
 - Docker Makefile now creates multi-arch builds for amd64, arm64, and armv7; credit [Sebastian Cohnen](https://github.com/tisba).
 - Fixed crash during GEX tests.
 - Refined GEX testing against OpenSSH servers: when the fallback mechanism is suspected of being triggered, perform an additional test to obtain more accurate results.
 - The color of all notes will be printed in green when the related algorithm is rated good.
 - Prioritized host key certificate algorithms for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS client policy.
 - Marked all NIST K-, B-, and T-curves as unproven since they are so rarely used.
 - Added built-in policy for OpenSSH 9.4.
 - Added 12 new host keys: `ecdsa-sha2-curve25519`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistb233`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistb409`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistk163`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistk233`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistk283`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistk409`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistp224`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistp192`, `ecdsa-sha2-nistt571`, `ssh-dsa`, `x509v3-sign-rsa-sha256`.
 - Added 15 new key exchanges: `curve448-sha512@libssh.org`, `ecdh-nistp256-kyber-512r3-sha256-d00@openquantumsafe.org`, `ecdh-nistp384-kyber-768r3-sha384-d00@openquantumsafe.org`, `ecdh-nistp521-kyber-1024r3-sha512-d00@openquantumsafe.org`, `ecdh-sha2-brainpoolp256r1@genua.de`, `ecdh-sha2-brainpoolp384r1@genua.de`, `ecdh-sha2-brainpoolp521r1@genua.de`, `kexAlgoDH14SHA1`, `kexAlgoDH1SHA1`, `kexAlgoECDH256`, `kexAlgoECDH384`, `kexAlgoECDH521`, `sm2kep-sha2-nistp256`, `x25519-kyber-512r3-sha256-d00@amazon.com`, `x25519-kyber512-sha512@aws.amazon.com`.
 - Added 8 new ciphers: `aes192-gcm@openssh.com`, `cast128-12-cbc`, `cast128-12-cfb`, `cast128-12-ecb`, `cast128-12-ofb`, `des-cfb`, `des-ecb`, `des-ofb`.
