In my ~/.ssh I have a number of public keys and one private key (id_rsa). How can I verify which one makes a pair with the private one.Or, can one generate the public one from the private key (in reasonable time)?
View 4 RepliesAt the moment we have one SSH server with the private key being on a usb flash drive, and the public key being on the server in authorized_keys2. Now that three more servers are coming online, should we generate new keys, so we have muliple private and public keys (one pair for each server), or use the same two keys to access all the servers
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a p2p file sharing program using python's built-in libraries. Everything is going well. The only thing is that i'd like to be able to use openssl public and private keys so only a host with the public key could access/decrypt the filesharing. I've gotten these libraries (httplib, basehttpserver, ssl, os) to work using just a pem file containing both the public and private keys but no success with them seperately. Can someone point me in the right direction or offer an alternative? PS, the goal of the project is to create an anonymous, decentralized, secure file sharing program. I want to be able to upload this to sourceforge so everyone can use it, if that's any incentive

can I stop this? can i set a private folder?
My /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail went from 2200 to <200 after ssh-keygen. The generated key pairs also doesn't work (ie I'm asked to provide a password). Anyone knows what is the minimum before and after entropy number I should see in order to have the keys generated properly?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI was wondering whether increasing the strength of a key by increasing the number of bits in the key to 2048 makes any sense if I want to leave the passphrase blank anyway? I'm setting up passwordless ssh logins on my LAN as I'm a bit tired of constantly being asked for a password.
View 7 Replies View RelatedFor using SSH, why does a host also need to have a public and private key? And how can I generate a public/private key pair for myself?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI created a private/public pair. I put the public on github.But I can never push to github.Every time, it says public denied. In order to push, I need to do this:eval ssh-agentssh-add ~/.ssh/github_dsaThis is driving me nuts that I have to do this every time. So, I just put it in my ~/.bashrc file. I feel like that's a hack. Is this normal?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter years with Linux and using ssh on a daily basis I have to admit I've never setup public/private key authentication and I've never run passwordless logon to ssh. It's not that I've never tried, I have - I've just never got it working. That to me is an almost alien concept as I am a tinkerer at heart and rarely stop until something is working the way I'd like it to. I get the principle of what's going on but I've always had a mental block about it.

I have a class in which a have declared a private variable "time". In one of the public functions, I am returning the value of "time" (either directly by using "return time;" or by something similar to "x=time; return x;" but I keep getting a compiling error saying that "time" is not declared in this scope.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMost of our machines have public facing and backend mgmt private nics(ie: 192 or 172 networks). I wrote a rule that matches source ip(our monitor on a 192 network) on udp 161 accept. I want to prevent listening on that port on the public. Is the source rule sufficient or should I match the interface and then source? I know there a many ways to do this. I need to verify from the public network with a port scanner?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu server is now providing routing duties to my network, but I'm having trouble opening ports to my network. I have a DynDNS account, so the IP is always current, but I can't ping even my IP directly.
My network map looks like
Internet > SpeedTouch DSL modem with DHCP > eth1 > Ubuntu > eth0 > LAN
With the modem providing a 192.168.1.xx IP to eth1, I can browse fine. The default gateway is my modem. I switched to the public IP of the modem so I could use iptables for firewall duties, but I was locked out of the internet. No gateway was set when I did that, but eth1 received the public IP of my modem.
How can I use the public IP assigned to eth1?
We have to connect one PC in private network (campus) with other PC (mostly a modem in our case)in public network. Connection should be peer to peer like and we have to use C coding for establishing connection between this two systems. Is it possible if we use port forwarding or is there any other way?

I have created 3 putty keys (public and private) using putty key gen and basedn my research i was told to put the public keys in /home/"user"/.ssh/authorized_keys .I did that but when i tried to log on using the key...the server is saying "server refused key" could anyone assist in this issue
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have one doubt that is how can we actually connect a system in private network with the system in a public network using IP address. I have one system in private network (in my campus) I need to connect it with the system on public network (home) using IP address and communicate with each other. How can I do it or is there any other way of connecting these two systems more easily?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI configured ssh on one of my servers to require public/private key authentication and deny access to login requests not using a public/private key. Now I need to unconfigure that,but I can't remember how I did it. I've looked through ssh_config and sshd_config, and nothing rings a bell. Googling only tells me how to enable public/private key authentication, not how to require it or stop requiring it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy ISP has for a long time had a broken forward/reverese DNS so that my ADSL connection with static IP address resolves to a completely different IP address on a reverse query. This has not been a problem until I upgraded a remote server from 10.3 to 11.3 last weekend and now ssh connections from my ADSL connection to it using public/private keys are being rejected with the following message in /var/log/messages (IP addresses changed):
Aug 10 12:00:32 penguin1 sshd[1270]: Address 83.175.246.243 maps to 83-175-246-243.static.dsl.aupex.com, but this does not map back to the address - Possible Break in Attempt!
But if I log in interactively with username & password, the connection succeeds. I've changed the StrictModes setting in sshd_config to 'no' but this hasn't resolved the problem. Obviously something in 11.3 is being stricter about this IP mismatch than it was in 10.2 (and no, the server is not using a firewall). There must be something I can change to make sshd more permissive? I've tried before to get my ISP to fix their problem but no luck. This needs to be sorted as a server at my home (which does not run SuSE) retrieves backups from the remote OpenSuSE 11.3 server every night using scp and these are now failing.
I installed OpenSSH via tasksel and am using Webmin for administration. I'd like to be able to SSH externally and want to setup the necessary public/private keys to use in FileZilla. In Webmin, under Servers > SSH Server I can click 'Host Keys' and see an RSA key. Is this the public or private key for my server? Do I need to copy this into a text file to import it into FileZilla on my remote PC (that I want to connect from)? Is that all that needs to be done (aside from opening the port on my router/firewall)? Or, is there an automated way to set this up via Webmin?

Currently my OS is Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Desktop OS and my web server is Apache2. I have a public address 60.x.y.z and my pc local address is 10.x.y.z. I have a web app in my Apache2 which currently run in localhost(10.x.y.z).
I would like to enable the web app so that it could be browse from outside. I know there maybe some port forwarding process and some commands involved in order to do that. But I have no idea on the steps to do that.
My Linux username is "virchanza" and my group is "virchanza".How do I make a publicly-accessible folder within my private home folder?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently got a nice, lightly used IBM Thinkpad laptop. It has wireless capability for the Internet. Linux is the only OS in the laptop. At home, I don't have wireless-- I have a wired DSL connection for my laptop and for my IBM desktop (which also only has Linux as OS).
When I took the laptop to the public library, wireless is provided there for free and I had no trouble connecting to the system there. But since I'm new to wireless, what do I need to have installed to have a secure laptop when in the public library (or when I'm anywhere else that offers free wifi) using the wireless connection? [I use Firestarter as my firewall in the laptop and in the desktop.] Do I have to install some software to make sure my laptop is secured from spying and invasions when in the library or is the Firestarter enough? If Firestarter is not enough, what is that wifi security software by name?
[My OS is MEPIS 8.5, a Debian-based distro.]
Some people have said that it's dumb to use the same key for multiple things, but for curiosity's sake, is it possible to convert one's private key to id_rsa? I know that I can convert my public key to id_rsa.pub with ``$ gpgkey2ssh [key ID] >id_rsa.pub'', and that makes me think that there should be a way to do it with my private key.
