Vulnerable Application

SSH, Secure SHell, is an encrypted network protocol used to remotely interact with an Operating System at a command line level. SSH is available on most every system, including Windows, but is mainly used by *nix administrators.

This module identifies the version of SSH service in use by the server based on the server's banner. Any SSH server should return this information. It also identifies the varous cryptographic settings and vulnerabilities associated with those.

This module is tested on several different SSH services, such as:

  • Virtual testing environment: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.8
  • github.com: SSH-2.0-babeld-38be96bc
  • gitlab.com: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.8

Vulnerable Ubuntu 14.04.1

The following Dockerfile can be used to create an Ubuntu 14.04.1 image with SSH running.

FROM ubuntu:14.04.1

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends openssh-server=1:6.6p1-2ubuntu1 openssh-client=1:6.6p1-2ubuntu1 openssh-sftp-server=1:6.6p1-2ubuntu1
RUN mkdir /var/run/sshd
EXPOSE 22

CMD ["/usr/sbin/sshd","-D"]

Verification Steps

  1. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_version
  2. Do: set rhosts [ips]
  3. Do: run

Options

EXTENDED_CHECKS

Check for cryptographic issues. Defaults to true

Scenarios

SSH-2.0 on GitHub

msf5 > use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_version
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_version) > set RHOSTS github.com
RHOSTS => github.com
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_version) > run
