SSHamble Cheatsheet

Overview

SSHamble is a tool developed by HD Moore for analyzing and identifying vulnerabilities in SSH implementations. It was presented at DefCon 33 and is designed to help security researchers and penetration testers find and exploit weaknesses in SSH servers and clients.

Key Features

  • SSH Implementation Analysis: Can be used to analyze the SSH implementation of a target system and identify its version, supported algorithms, and other configuration details.
  • Vulnerability Scanning: Can be used to scan for known vulnerabilities in SSH implementations, such as weak algorithms, default credentials, and other misconfigurations.
  • Exploitation: Can be used to exploit certain vulnerabilities in SSH implementations, such as authentication bypasses and remote code execution.

Getting Started

  1. Install SSHamble: Install SSHamble on your system.
  2. Configure the tool: Configure the tool with the IP address of your target SSH server.
  3. Run the tool: Run the tool to analyze the SSH implementation of the target server and scan for vulnerabilities.
  4. Analyze the results: Analyze the results to identify any potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Exploit vulnerabilities: Use the tool to exploit any vulnerabilities that you find.

Common Commands

  • sshamble scan <target>: Scan a target SSH server for vulnerabilities.
  • sshamble analyze <target>: Analyze the SSH implementation of a target server.
  • sshamble exploit <target> --vulnerability <vulnerability>: Exploit a specific vulnerability on a target server.

Example Use Case

Scenario: A penetration tester wants to assess the security of an SSH server.

  1. Analyze SSH Implementation: The penetration tester uses SSHamble to analyze the SSH implementation of the target server and identify its version and supported algorithms.
  2. Scan for Vulnerabilities: The penetration tester scans the server for known vulnerabilities, such as weak algorithms and default credentials.
  3. Exploit Vulnerabilities: The penetration tester finds a vulnerability that allows them to bypass authentication and gain access to the server. They then use SSHamble to exploit this vulnerability and gain a foothold in the network.
