open-SSH Fundamentals

Install SSH

sudo apt-get install openssh-client
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Test ssh install

ssh localhost

configure the OpenSSH server

/etc/ssh/sshd_config
man sshd_config

copy the original file and protect it from writing

sudo cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.original
sudo chmod a-w /etc/ssh/sshd_config.original

Configure sshd_config

gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

add the following directives /etc/ssh/sshd_config

#sjnChangedPort = 443
#Port 22
Port 443

#sjnChangedServerKeyBits
#ServerKeyBits 768
ServerKeyBits 2048

#sjnChangeLogLevel
#LogLevel INFO
LogLevel VERBOSE

#sjnChangeLogInGraceTime = 120
LoginGraceTime 1m

#sjnChangeRootLogin = yes
PermitRootLogin no

#sjnAuthorizedKeysFile
#AuthorizedKeysFile	%h/.ssh/authorized_keys

#sjnChangePasswordAuthentication = yes
PasswordAuthentication no
(then add public key to client)

#sjnChangeBanner (later)
#Banner /etc/issue.net
#Banner /home/scott/sshxxx.txt

#sjnChangePAM
#UsePAM yes
UsePAM no

start/stop/restart sshd

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
sudo service ssh start

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop
sudo service ssh stop

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
sudo service ssh restart

Authentication

• SSH keys allow authentication between two hosts without the need of a password

Generate keys on Linux

on local machine do:

 ssh-keygen -t rsa
~/.ssh/id_rsa     (private key)
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (public key)

copy "Public Key" ---> To Remote Server

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote:~/.ssh/my_key

append id_rsa.pub to
~/.ssh/known_hosts 

by entering: 
ssh-copy-id username@remotehost

Use Putty for Windows

Download Putty

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

PuTTYgen

select SSH-2 RSA - change from 1024 to 2048
click generate

type in password
save private key

open pageant and add your key

go back to the server 
change password authentication = yes
then we can get in via putty to copy the public key

then ssh into server with password

copy "Public Key" ---> To Remote Server

after ssh into server with password

~$ cd .ssh
~/.ssh$ nano authorized_keys

copy key and paste into authorized_keys

go back to the server(you can ssh in now)
change password authentication = no
re-start ssh

go back to PuTTY to save session

click on ssh ---> auth and browse for key
