OpenSSH is a popular suite of software utilities implementing Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. OpenSSH includes the ability to set up a TCP secured channel and it is widely use as a replacement for not secured telnet and secure replacement of file transfers such as rcp and ftp. OpenSSH offers a great number of features including ssh session multiplexing. [1][2]
The OpenSSH suite includes the following command-line utilities and daemons:
ssh
, ssh client and TCP secure replacement for <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />rlogin, <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />rsh and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />telnet to allow shell access to a remote machine.scp
, a replacement forrcp
sftp
, a replacement forftp
to copy files between computerssshd
, the SSH server daemon which allows shell access and file transfers to a remote machine.ssh-keygen
, a tool to inspect and generate the RSA, DSA and Elliptic Curve keys that are used for user and host authenticationssh-agent
andssh-add
, utilities to ease authentication by holding keys ready and avoid the need to enter passphrases every time they are usedssh-keyscan
, which scans a list of hosts and collects their public keysssh-copy-id
, copy local keys to remote machine.

Config
- Client:
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
or~./config
- Server:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
ssh clients
OpenSSH includes an ssh client:ssh
. Others clients are available such us PuTTY
, mosh
, paramiko
and autossh
[3].
autossh
[4] main feature not include in OpenSSH ssh client is the capability to monitor an ssh connection and restart it if necessary.
- Loop waiting to connect to server:
AUTOSSH_POLL=5 AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0 autossh -M 0 -o ServerAliveInterval=5 -o ServerAliveCountMax=1 YOUR_SERVER_NAME_OR_IP
Ssh clients in Linux are frequently executed inside a terminal or using any kind of terminal multiplexer such as tmux
or screen
.
Activities
Basic
- Install OpenSSH:
apt install openssh-server
- Convert a PuTTY ssh key format to Openssh format, you can follow the following instructions http://www.codeblocq.com/2016/05/Convert-a-putty-ppk-key-to-a-pem-file-on-OSX/, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3475069/use-ppk-file-in-mac-terminal-to-connect-to-remote-connection-over-ssh
- Open a reverse ssh tunnel, follow the following instructions https://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling
- Configure OpenSSH to reuse ssh connections (
ControlMaster
) - Generate a public Key from a private Key: [5]
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -y > ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
(example for RSA keys but can be applied to other key types) - Configure OpenSSH to allow Public-key authentication (
authorized_keys
)[6] - Activate SSH on macOS:
sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin on
- Activate OpenSSH on Windows (Windows Server 2019 or Windows 1o):[7]
Intermediate
- Learn about different client connection options, such us:
-oBatchMode=yes
or-o ConnectTimeout=2
[8] - Connect to remote server temporarily turning off host key checking, (security implications):
ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no SERVER_NAME
Advanced
- Read ssh documentation about multiplexing https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH/Cookbook/Multiplexing and its implementation details: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/PROTOCOL.mux?annotate=HEAD
- Configure ssh session multiplexing
- Use
ProxyJump
directive to connect using a "Jump Server"[9] - Run a shell script on a remote machine using ssh:
ssh root@MachineB 'bash -s' < local_script.sh
