Generate New Ssh Keys Kali

 

What is an SSH key?

Before adding a new SSH key to the ssh-agent to manage your keys, you should have checked for existing SSH keys and generated a new SSH key. When adding your SSH key to the agent, use the default macOS ssh-add command, and not an application installed by macports, homebrew, or some other external source. Sep 15, 2016  So here's is my guide to change the already generated ssh keys that everyone has installed on kali: After all we are hot on security right???? We dont want the same keys as the next man do we (MITM). Move the default Kali ssh keys to a new folder: cd /etc/ssh/ mkdir defaultkalikeys mv sshhost. defaultkalikeys/. Generate 4098 Bit Key Generate 4096 Bit DSA Key. RSA is very old and popular asymmetric encryption algorithm. It is used most of the systems by default. There are some alternatives to RSA like DSA. We can not generate 4096 bit DSA keys because it algorithm do not supports. Generate 2048 Bit Key. The default key size for the ssh-keygen is 2048 bit. We can also specify explicitly the size of the key like below. SiteGround uses key-based authentication for SSH. This has proven more secure over standard username/password authentication. More information on SSH keys can be found here. You can generate an SSH key pair directly in cPanel, or you can generate the keys yourself and just upload the public one in cPanel to use with your hosting account. When enabling the service, be sure to fully secure SSH first. I will cover some of the basics briefly, but this is not meant to be a guide on securely running an SSH server. Since Kali comes with pre-generated SSH keys, to make it more secure, the first thing we will do is generate new ones. To backup the original keys first as a precaution use.

While an SSH key is an access credential, it is technically a cryptographic key. SSH uses public-key cryptography (or asymmetric cryptography) and challenge-response authentication as a more secure method of authentication. Using SSH keys allows you to be authenticated to the remote server without sending your password over the network.

SSH keys are generated in pairs (public and private), that are mathematically related, but not identical. They work together to authenticate when logging into an SSH server. The public key is used to encrypt and the private key is used to decrypt. When the client attempts to connect to the remote server, the server will verify that the client has a private key that corresponds with the authorized public key. If the private key is verified to match the public key, the client is authenticated and a shell session is launched.

The public key can be shared, because it is infeasible to compute the private key based on the public key.

The private key is not shared, and must be secured, so it is advisable to store it in encrypted form. This will require that a passphrase is entered when the private key is required. The passphrase is not transmitted over the network because it is only needed to decrypt the private key on the local system.

*Note: While setting a passphrase is an optional step, it is strongly recommended. If the private key was compromised, the unauthorized user would be able to assume that identity on the SSH server.

Key generation: Windows and Linux

[Windows]

Since Windows doesn’t have a native SSH client, PuTTygen will be used to generate the keys.

*Note: PuTTy and PuTTyGen can be downloaded from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

To create the key pair, follow these steps:

Open PuTTygen and select the desired parameters:

Type of key to generate: SSH-2 RSA [recommended]

At least 2048 for the number of bits in a generated key

Click on the “Generate” button

In the area below the progress bar, move the mouse around to generate random data needed to generate the key, until the process completes

In the next step, enter and confirm a passphrase

*Note:Set this to something memorable, because you will need it to log in.

Save the Keys

Click on the “Save public key” button and the “Save private key” button and select a secure location to save them

[Linux]

To create the key pair, use the following command:

ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa

[-b 2048] is used to specify the desired key length

[-t rsa] specifies that RSA keys are to be generated (Use powers of two if you choose to increase the key length

When prompted, enter the location to store the keys, or press enter to accept the default location:

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa):

At this point, you will be prompted to enter, and confirm a passphrase:

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):

Enter same passphrase again:

*Note:Set this to something memorable, because you will need it to log in.

The SSH keygen will complete, and display the locations of the keys, the key fingerprint, and the keys random art image.

[Configure the server]

Now that the keys are created, we will configure OpenSSH on the Kali system, and save the public key.

As root, issue the following command:

Generate New Ssh Keys Kali

apt-get install openssh-server

To enable the ssh server, issue:

Powershell Generate Ssh Key

service ssh start

To prevent changes after restart, issue the following commands to alter the runlevels, in this order:

update-rc.d ssh remove

update-rc.d -f ssh defaults

service ssh restart

service ssh status

Next, create the following directory, set permissions, and copy the key.

Issue the following commands:

mkdir ~/.ssh

chmod 700 ~/.ssh

nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Copy the public key that was created in PuTTygen to this file, as one line:

That file must be write/readable only by that user, so enter

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

[Put it all together]

Attach and use the key

Launch PuTTy and specify the destination, and port:

Under category on the left, select “SSH”, then “Auth”, and click the “Browse“ button
