So after tinkering for a while, I was able to configure ssh for private/public key authentication and disabled Password-Authentication. In the past I had some issues with people brute force trying passwords/usernames so I want to avoid this, but I need some form of secure FTP that now doesn't work due to the aforementioned setting.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 3 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

The network interface is set to bridged, so the virtual machine is connected directly to the university network i am connected to. I want to be able to ssh into the vm.I installed sshd via "apt-get install ssh", generated a key pair with puttygen and copied the public part to "/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys", set rights to 600 and then tried to disable password authentication completely, following the "securing debian" documentation.this is how my /etc/ssh/sshd_config looks now:

Is there a way to disable password authentication completely? The command line is the following:
ssh -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o PasswordAuthentication=no machine"
it STILL asks for a password. Of course I would like to do this without touching the server, if possible.

View 1 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?
For 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?

I have a class in which a have declared a private variable "time".

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 RelatedI 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?

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

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.
My calling application will accept only strings and interger. we are replacing RSA bsafe library to openssl. using RSA bsafe, we have generated the private and public key in BER format. Then convert the keys, BER format into ASCII format to send the calling function. (these everything done by using RSA supplied bsafe library) same way i have to right using openssl..i m now able convert the RSA public and private key into DER format
rsa = RSA_generate_key(1024, 3, NULL, NULL);

I was testing my authorized_hosts setup, so deleted my local private key. I then successfully ssh'd into my remote server using RSA authentication. I was expecting to get a permission denied, seeing as there is no longer a private key to guarantee I'm me. Guessing I'm misunderstanding something fundamental. Anyone know what's going on? It doesn't look like ssh-add is holding my private key:jake@clyde:~$ sudo pkill -9 ssh-agent
