It was designed to aid in building and verifying + ssh_known_hosts files, the format of which is documented in sshd(8). + ssh-keyscan provides a minimal interface suitable for use by shell and + perl scripts. + + ssh-keyscan uses non-blocking socket I/O to contact as many hosts as + possible in parallel, so it is very efficient. The keys from a domain of + 1,000 hosts can be collected in tens of seconds, even when some of those + hosts are down or do not run sshd(8). For scanning, one does not need + login access to the machines that are being scanned, nor does the + scanning process involve any encryption. + + The options are as follows: + + -4 Force ssh-keyscan to use IPv4 addresses only. + + -6 Force ssh-keyscan to use IPv6 addresses only. + + -c Request certificates from target hosts instead of plain keys. + + -D Print keys found as SSHFP DNS records. The default is to print + keys in a format usable as a ssh(1) known_hosts file. + + -f file + Read hosts or M-bM-^@M-^\addrlist namelistM-bM-^@M-^] pairs from file, one per line. + If M-bM-^@M-^X-M-bM-^@M-^Y is supplied instead of a filename, ssh-keyscan will read + from the standard input. Input is expected in the format: + + 1.2.3.4,1.2.4.4 name.my.domain,name,n.my.domain,n,1.2.3.4,1.2.4.4 + + -H Hash all hostnames and addresses in the output. Hashed names may + be used normally by ssh(1) and sshd(8), but they do not reveal + identifying information should the file's contents be disclosed. + + -p port + Connect to port on the remote host. + + -T timeout + Set the timeout for connection attempts. If timeout seconds have + elapsed since a connection was initiated to a host or since the + last time anything was read from that host, the connection is + closed and the host in question considered unavailable. The + default is 5 seconds. + + -t type + Specify the type of the key to fetch from the scanned hosts. The + possible values are M-bM-^@M-^\dsaM-bM-^@M-^], M-bM-^@M-^\ecdsaM-bM-^@M-^], M-bM-^@M-^\ed25519M-bM-^@M-^], or M-bM-^@M-^\rsaM-bM-^@M-^]. + Multiple values may be specified by separating them with commas. + The default is to fetch M-bM-^@M-^\rsaM-bM-^@M-^], M-bM-^@M-^\ecdsaM-bM-^@M-^], and M-bM-^@M-^\ed25519M-bM-^@M-^] keys. + + -v Verbose mode: print debugging messages about progress. + + If an ssh_known_hosts file is constructed using ssh-keyscan without + verifying the keys, users will be vulnerable to man in the middle + attacks. On the other hand, if the security model allows such a risk, + ssh-keyscan can help in the detection of tampered keyfiles or man in the + middle attacks which have begun after the ssh_known_hosts file was + created. + +FILES + /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts + +EXAMPLES + Print the RSA host key for machine hostname: + + $ ssh-keyscan -t rsa hostname + + Find all hosts from the file ssh_hosts which have new or different keys + from those in the sorted file ssh_known_hosts: + + $ ssh-keyscan -t rsa,dsa,ecdsa,ed25519 -f ssh_hosts | \ + sort -u - ssh_known_hosts | diff ssh_known_hosts - + +SEE ALSO + ssh(1), sshd(8) + + Using DNS to Securely Publish Secure Shell (SSH) Key Fingerprints, RFC + 4255, 2006. + +AUTHORS + David Mazieres <dm@lcs.mit.edu> wrote the initial version, and Wayne + Davison <wayned@users.sourceforge.net> added support for protocol version + 2. + +OpenBSD 6.4 March 5, 2018 OpenBSD 6.4 |
