== External OpenSSL Command-line FAQ ==
 
This [http://www.madboa.com/geek/openssl/ OpenSSL HowTo/FAQ] deals with the command-line openssl.
 
 
 
== sshd_conf tweaks ==
 
These are changes I always make to /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
 
See [http://www.fail2ban.org/ fail2ban] for
 
protecting against bots doing dictionary attacks.
 
 
 
<pre>
 
# this speeds up logins.
 
UseDNS no
 
# bots often check these accounts for weak passwords:
 
DenyUsers root test admin guest nobody
 
# for extra security, limit access to only these users:
 
AllowUsers user1 user2 user3
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Use the following to support SSH1. I no longer use this.
 
<pre>
 
# this is required if you want to support SSH1
 
Protocol 2,1
 
# this is required if you want to support SSH1
 
PasswordAuthentication yes

== simple port forwarding (SSH tunnel) ==
 
This example creates a tunnel for IMAP. Here we forward port 1143 on localhost to 143 (IMAP) on imap.example.com.
 
<pre>
 
ssh -f -N -q -L 1143:localhost:143 username@imap.example.com
 
</pre>
 
 
 
-f tells ssh to go into the background (daemonize).
 
 
 
-N tells ssh that you don't want to run a remote command. That is, you only want to forward ports.
 
 
 
-q tells ssh to be quiet
 
 
 
-L specifies the port forwarding
 
 
 
== Remote Server Security Enhancement with SSH Keys ==
 
 
 
When you add a key to authorized_key you may pass parameters to fine tune the connection. This can be used to restrict what the client is allowed to do. On the remote server, add the following to ~username/.ssh/authorized_keys:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
from="192.168.1.69",command="/bin/false",no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding,permitopen="localhost:143"
 
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA8XIr8LEXdvc4VZEvNenWkJrerTzNhqTT7QvCD+Y2EjCUPQwfBcSnvhY3oasNigNonghQFqm7/HqWBLpcN+4mqDUrXrEdj6HQmHvCV6WozNUVb5jjiyQ/JF4hqcQd6oelCkVw8wD32I2jlYqydpqOGY4xqakWDAfm3SOx5il3Kl49mKCg5B3GQPexhTujaTT3y/Q1eeT3zGpHE9Mp7k20X8rMxSjp5ncLAmdf42fRh05HY5f1GrupQIEdi0/TDcPNWL1ml89zttrDOLgDnwny7P0x2jmcX41cSxL/8svER7BAk2sroyQe6L21pJ7o2MYz1IwnsQgji/GjJoaA7hTNCQ== username@client.example.com
 
</pre>
 
 
 
* from="192.168.1.69": accept connection only from the given IP address
 
* command="/bin/false": forces this command to be run no matter what is passed via ssh from the client
 
* no-pty: never allocate a PTY for interactivity
 
* no-X11-forwarding: No X11
 
* no-agent-forwarding: we don't want or need ssh-agent
 
* no-port-forwarding: prevent ssh -R ...
 
* permitopen="localhost:143": allow only localhost connections to port 143 for `ssh -L` requests
 
 
 
== reverse port forwarding ==
 
Sometimes I need to make an internal LAN machine expose a service to the outside WAN.
 
For example, I have a database server that will only accept connections from a
 
specific development box. That dev box is inside the firewall. I want to connect to
 
the database from outside the firewall.
 
<pre>ssh -t -L 5432:localhost:1999 my_name@firewall.example.com ssh -t db_server ssh -t -R 1999:127.0.0.1:5432 my_name@firewall
 
</pre>
 
 
 
 
 
== SSH for Windows ==
 
[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Putty] is the best free SSH client for Windows. You can also use [http://www.cygwin.com Cygwin], but the ANSI terminal emulation isn't as good unless you start the X11 server and run xterm.
 
 
 
== MindTerm SSH client Java Applet ==
 
MindTerm_2.1 (non-commercial). This was the last free version of MindTerm.
 
 
 
    [http://www.noah.org/ssh/mindterm.jar mindterm.jar]
 
 
 
Put this applet on a web page and point the <applet> "archive" attribute to the URL of the JAR file:
 
<small><pre>
 
<applet archive="mindterm.jar" code="com.mindbright.application.MindTerm.class" width="580" height="400">
 
    <param name="te" value="xterm-color"> <!-- "vt102" -->
 
    <param name="fs" value="18">
 
    <param name="gm" value="80x32+0+0">
 
    <param name="port" value="22">
 
    <param name="cipher" value="blowfish"> <!-- "des" -->
 
    <param name="usrname" value="">

    <param name="quiet" value="false">
 
    <param name="cmdsh" value="false">

    <pa ram name="autoprops" value="none">
 
    <param name="idhost" value="false">
