SSH

This section documents the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. SSH is used to remotely manage computer systems, secururly transfer files over untrusted networks and to create "ad-hoc" virtual-private networks. SSH is defined by the following Internet Standards (RFCs): Table 2. SSH Standards

OpenSSH is the most popular implementation of the SSH protocol.
It is maintained by the OpenBSD project and portable versions are disitributed with many unix-like operating-systems and Windows Server.

Tested with Version

UsePAM yes

	Older Linux systems won’t support SHA2. PuTTY (Windows) does not support RIPE-MD160. Curve25519, AES-GCM and UMAC are only available upstream (OpenSSH 6.6p1). DSA host keys have been removed on purpose, the DSS standard does not support for DSA keys stronger than 1024bit [5] which is far below current standards (see section #section:keylengths). Legacy systems can use this configuration and simply omit unsupported ciphers, key exchange algorithms and MACs.

References

The OpenSSH sshd_config — OpenSSH SSH daemon configuration file man page is the best reference:

How to test

Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server $ ssh -vvv myserver.com and observe the key exchange in the output.

Cisco ASA

Tested with Versions

9.1(3)

Settings

crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048 ssh version 2 ssh key-exchange group dh-group14-sha1

	When the ASA is configured for SSH, by default both SSH versions 1 and 2 are allowed. In addition to that, only a group1 DH-key-exchange is used. This should be changed to allow only SSH version 2 and to use a key-exchange with group14. The generated RSA key should be 2048 bit (the actual supported maximum). A non-cryptographic best practice is to reconfigure the lines to only allow SSH-logins.

CLI Book 1: Cisco ASA Series General Operations CLI Configuration Guide, 9.1

How to test

Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server $ ssh -vvv myserver.com and observe the key exchange in the output.

Cisco IOS

Tested with Versions

Table 3. Tested Myservice Versions

Program Version	OS/Distribution/Version	Comment
15.0	IOS
15.1	IOS
15.2	IOS

Settings

crypto key generate rsa modulus 4096 label SSH-KEYS ip ssh rsa keypair-name SSH-KEYS ip ssh version 2 ip ssh dh min size 2048 line vty 0 15 transport input ssh

	Same as with the ASA, also on IOS by default both SSH versions 1 and 2 are allowed and the DH-key-exchange only use a DH-group of 768 Bit. In IOS, a dedicated Key-pair can be bound to SSH to reduce the usage of individual keys-pairs. From IOS Version 15.0 onwards, 4096 Bit rsa keys are supported and should be used according to the paradigm "use longest supported key". Also, do not forget to disable telnet vty access.

	This guide is a basic SSH reference for all routers and switches. Pleaes refer to the specific documentation of the device and IOS version that you are configuring.

How to test

Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server $ ssh -vvv switch.example.net and observe the key exchange in the output.
