Passive SSH is an open source framework composed of a scanner and server to store and lookup the SSH keys and fingerprints per host (IPv4/IPv6/onion).
The key materials along fingerprints and hosts are stored in a fast-lookup database. The system provides an historical view of SSH keys seen but also common key materials reused on different IP addresses.
- A simple SSH scanner
- A server storing key materials in a Redis database
- A simple ReST API to lookup by SSH fingerprints (including hassh or host (IPv4, IPv6 or onion addresses)
- Statistics of SSH banners and SSH fingerprints
- Python >= 3.6
- Redis >5.0
- tornado
- Python >= 3.6
- D4 paramiko
- pysocks (required to scan Tor hidden services)
./install.sh
- Install Redis and all pythons requirements.
- All Python 3 code will be installed in a virtualenv (PSSHENV).
The ssh scanner can be used with a Tor proxy to scan a host or an hidden service.
Don't forget to install the Tor proxy if you want to scan Tor hidden services: sudo apt-get install tor -y
Launch the redis and the tornado server:
./LAUNCH -l
A SSH scanner is included to scan small networks or internal infrastructure.
. ./PSSHENV/bin/activate
cd bin/
# Scan a host
./ssh_scan.py -t <host: 10.0.0.12>
# Scan a network range
./ssh_scan.py -r <network range: 10.0.0.0/8>
An API is available to query the Passive SSH server.
By default, the tornado server for Passive SSH is running on port 8500.
