ssh_scan
A SSH configuration and policy scanner
⚠️ Deprecation Notice ⚠️
Mozilla is no longer maintaining the SSH Scan project.
Please fork it to continue development.
Key Benefits
- Minimal Dependencies - Uses native Ruby and BinData to do its work, no heavy dependencies.
- Not Just a Script - Implementation is portable for use in another project or for automation of tasks.
- Simple - Just point
ssh_scan
at an SSH service and get a JSON report of what it supports and its policy status. - Configurable - Make your own custom policies that fit your unique policy requirements.
