Sshamble: Unexpected Exposures in the Secure Shell

The Secure Shell (SSH) has evolved from a remote shell service to a standardized secure transport that is second only to Transport Layer Security (TLS) in terms of exposure and popularity. SSH is no longer just for POSIX operating systems; SSH services can be found in everything from network devices, to source code forges, to Windows-based file transfer tools. While OpenSSH is still the most prominent implementation, it's now just one of dozens, and these include a handful of libraries that drive a wide range of applications. This presentation digs deep into SSH, the lesser-known implementations, many of the surprising security issues found along the way, and how to exploit them. As part of this talk, we will release an open source tool, dubbed "sshamble", that assists with research and security testing of SSH services.
