ssh-audit is a tool for ssh server & client configuration auditing.
jtesta/ssh-audit (v2.0+) is the updated and maintained version of ssh-audit forked from arthepsy/ssh-audit (v1.x) due to inactivity.
- SSH1 and SSH2 protocol server support;
- analyze SSH client configuration;
- grab banner, recognize device or software and operating system, detect compression;
- gather key-exchange, host-key, encryption and message authentication code algorithms;
- output algorithm security information (available since, removed/disabled, unsafe/weak/legacy, etc);
- output algorithm recommendations (append or remove based on recognized software version);
- analyze SSH version compatibility based on algorithm information;
- historical information from OpenSSH, Dropbear SSH and libssh;
- policy scans to ensure adherence to a hardened/standard configuration;
- runs on Linux and Windows;
- supports Python 3.8 - 3.13;
- no dependencies
usage: ssh-audit.py [options] <host>
-h, --help print this help
-1, --ssh1 force ssh version 1 only
-2, --ssh2 force ssh version 2 only
-4, --ipv4 enable IPv4 (order of precedence)
-6, --ipv6 enable IPv6 (order of precedence)
-b, --batch batch output
-c, --client-audit starts a server on port 2222 to audit client
software config (use -p to change port;
use -t to change timeout)
--conn-rate-test=N[:max_rate] perform a connection rate test (useful
for collecting metrics related to
susceptibility of the DHEat vuln).
Testing is conducted with N concurrent
sockets with an optional maximum rate
of connections per second.
-d, --debug Enable debug output.
--dheat=N[:kex[:e_len]] continuously perform the DHEat DoS attack
(CVE-2002-20001) against the target using N
concurrent sockets. Optionally, a specific
key exchange algorithm can be specified
instead of allowing it to be automatically
chosen. Additionally, a small length of
the fake e value sent to the server can
be chosen for a more efficient attack (such
as 4).
-g, --gex-test=<x[,y,...]> dh gex modulus size test
<min1:pref1:max1[,min2:pref2:max2,...]>
<x-y[:step]>
-j, --json JSON output (use -jj to enable indents)
-l, --level=<level> minimum output level (info|warn|fail)
-L, --list-policies list all the official, built-in policies. Use with -v
to view policy change logs.
--lookup=<alg1,alg2,...> looks up an algorithm(s) without
connecting to a server
-m, --manual print the man page (Docker, PyPI, Snap, and Windows
builds only)
-M, --make-policy=<policy.txt> creates a policy based on the target server
(i.e.: the target server has the ideal
configuration that other servers should
adhere to)
-n, --no-colors disable colors
-p, --port=<port> port to connect
-P, --policy=<"policy name" | policy.txt> run a policy test using the
specified policy
--skip-rate-test skip the connection rate test during standard audits
(used to safely infer whether the DHEat attack
is viable)
-t, --timeout=<secs> timeout (in seconds) for connection and reading
(default: 5)
-T, --targets=<hosts.txt> a file containing a list of target hosts (one
per line, format HOST[:PORT]). Use -p/--port
to set the default port for all hosts. Use
--threads to control concurrent scans.
--threads=<threads> number of threads to use when scanning multiple
targets (-T/--targets) (default: 32)
-v, --verbose verbose output
- if both IPv4 and IPv6 are used, order of precedence can be set by using either
-46or-64. - batch flag
-bwill output sections without header and without empty lines (implies verbose flag). - verbose flag
-vwill prefix each line with section type and algorithm name. - an exit code of 0 is returned when all algorithms are considered secure (for a standard audit), or when a policy check passes (for a policy audit).
Basic server auditing:
ssh-audit localhost
ssh-audit 127.0.0.1
ssh-audit 127.0.0.1:222
ssh-audit ::1
ssh-audit [::1]:222
To run a standard audit against many servers (place targets into servers.txt, one on each line in the format of HOST[:PORT]):
ssh-audit -T servers.txt
To audit a client configuration (listens on port 2222 by default; connect using ssh -p 2222 anything@localhost):
ssh-audit -c
To audit a client configuration, with a listener on port 4567:
ssh-audit -c -p 4567
To list all official built-in policies (hint: use resulting policy names with -P/--policy):
ssh-audit -L
To run a policy audit against a server:
ssh-audit -P ["policy name" | path/to/server_policy.txt] targetserver
To run a policy audit against a client:
ssh-audit -c -P ["policy name" | path/to/client_policy.txt]
To run a policy audit against many servers:
ssh-audit -T servers.txt -P ["policy name" | path/to/server_policy.txt]
To create a policy based on a target server (which can be manually edited):
ssh-audit -M new_policy.txt targetserver
To run the DHEat CPU exhaustion DoS attack (CVE-2002-20001) against a target using 10 concurrent sockets:
ssh-audit --dheat=10 targetserver
To run the DHEat attack using the diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange algorithm:
ssh-audit --dheat=10:diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 targetserver
To run the DHEat attack using the diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange algorithm along with very small but non-standard packet lengths (this may result in the same CPU exhaustion, but with many less bytes per second being sent):
ssh-audit --dheat=10:diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256:4 targetserver
Below is a screen shot of the standard server-auditing output when connecting to an unhardened OpenSSH v5.3 service:
Below is a screen shot of the policy auditing output when connecting to an un-hardened Ubuntu Server 20.04 machine (hint: use -L/--list-policies to see names of built-in policies to use with -P/--policy):
After applying the steps in the hardening guide (see below), the output changes to the following:
Below is a screen shot of the client-auditing output when an unhardened OpenSSH v7.2 client connects:

For convenience, a web front-end on top of the command-line tool is available at https://www.ssh-audit.com/.
- Added Python 3.13 support.
- Added built-in policies for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server & client, OpenSSH 9.8, and OpenSSH 9.9.
- Added IPv6 support for DHEat and connection rate tests.
- Added TCP port information to JSON policy scan results; credit Fabian Malte Kopp.
- Added LANcom LCOS server recognition and Ed448 key extraction; credit Daniel Lenski.
- Now reports ECDSA and DSS fingerprints when in verbose mode; partial credit Daniel Lenski.
- Removed CVE information based on server/client version numbers, as this was wildly inaccurate (see this thread for the full discussion, as well as the results of the community vote on this matter).
- Fixed crash when running with
-Pand-Toptions simultaneously. - Fixed host key tests from only reporting a key type at most once despite multiple hosts supporting it; credit Daniel Lenski.
- Fixed DHEat connection rate testing on MacOS X and BSD platforms; credit Drew Noel and Michael Osipov.
- Fixed invalid JSON output when a socket error occurs while performing a client audit.
- Fixed
--conn-rate-testfeature on Windows. - When scanning multiple targets (using
-T/--targets), the-p/--portoption will now be used as the default port (set to 22 if-p/--portis not given). Hosts specified in the file can override this default with an explicit port number (i.e.: "host1:1234"). For example, when using-T targets.txt -p 222, all hosts intargets.txtthat do not explicitly include a port number will default to 222; when using-T targets.txt(without-p), all hosts will use a default of 22. - Updated built-in server & client policies for Amazon Linux 2023, Debian 12, Rocky Linux 9, and Ubuntu 22.04 to improve host key efficiency and cipher resistance to quantum attacks.
- Added 1 new cipher:
grasshopper-ctr128. - Added 2 new key exchanges:
mlkem768x25519-sha256,sntrup761x25519-sha512.
- Added implementation of the DHEat denial-of-service attack (see
--dheatoption; CVE-2002-20001). - Expanded filter of CBC ciphers to flag for the Terrapin vulnerability. It now includes more rarely found ciphers.
- Fixed parsing of
ecdsa-sha2-nistp*CA signatures on host keys. Additionally, they are now flagged as potentially back-doored, just as standard host keys are. - Gracefully handle rare exceptions (i.e.: crashes) while performing GEX tests.
- The built-in man page (
-m,--manual) is now available on Docker, PyPI, and Snap builds, in addition to the Windows build. - Snap builds are now architecture-independent.
- Changed Docker base image from
python:3-slimtopython:3-alpine, resulting in a 59% reduction in image size; credit Daniel Thamdrup. - Added built-in policies for Amazon Linux 2023, Debian 12, OpenSSH 9.7, and Rocky Linux 9.
- Built-in policies now include a change log (use
-L -vto view them). - Custom policies now support the
allow_algorithm_subset_and_reorderingdirective to allow targets to pass with a subset and/or re-ordered list of host keys, kex, ciphers, and MACs. This allows for the creation of a baseline policy where targets can optionally implement stricter controls; partial credit yannik1015. - Custom policies now support the
allow_larger_keysdirective to allow targets to pass with larger host keys, CA keys, and Diffie-Hellman keys. This allows for the creation of a baseline policy where targets can optionally implement stricter controls; partial credit Damian Szuberski. - Color output is disabled if the
NO_COLORenvironment variable is set (see https://no-color.org/). - Added 1 new key exchange algorithm:
gss-nistp384-sha384-*. - Added 1 new cipher:
aes128-ocb@libassh.org.
- Added test for the Terrapin message prefix truncation vulnerability (CVE-2023-48795).
- Dropped support for Python 3.7 (EOL was reached in June 2023).
- Added Python 3.12 support.
- In server policies, reduced expected DH modulus sizes from 4096 to 3072 to match the online hardening guides (note that 3072-bit moduli provide the equivalent of 128-bit symmetric security).
- In Ubuntu 22.04 client policy, moved host key types
sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.comandssh-ed25519to the end of all certificate types. - Updated Ubuntu Server & Client policies for 20.04 and 22.04 to account for key exchange list changes due to Terrapin vulnerability patches.
- Re-organized option host key types for OpenSSH 9.2 server policy to correspond with updated Debian 12 hardening guide.
- Added built-in policies for OpenSSH 9.5 and 9.6.
- Added an
additional_notesfield to the JSON output.
- Results from concurrent scans against multiple hosts are no longer improperly combined; bug discovered by Adam Russell.
- Hostname resolution failure no longer causes scans against multiple hosts to terminate unexpectedly; credit Dani Cuesta.
- Algorithm recommendations resulting from warnings are now printed in yellow instead of red; credit Adam Russell.
- Added failure, warning, and info notes to JSON output (note that this results in a breaking change to the banner protocol, "enc", and "mac" fields); credit Bareq Al-Azzawi.
- Docker Makefile now creates multi-arch builds for amd64, arm64, and armv7; credit Sebastian Cohnen.
- Fixed crash during GEX tests.
- Refined GEX testing against OpenSSH servers: when the fallback mechanism is suspected of being triggered, perform an additional test to obtain more accurate results.
- The color of all notes will be printed in green when the related algorithm is rated good.
- Prioritized host key certificate algorithms for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS client policy.
- Marked all NIST K-, B-, and T-curves as unproven since they are so rarely used.
