Introduction

CodeFactor Documentation Status PyPI downloads GitHub PRs Welcome

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 acccept 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
  • hijacking and logging of terminal sessions
  • store and replace files during SCP/SFTP file transferes
  • port porwarding
  • audit clients against known vulnerabilities
  • plugin support

Installation

SSH-MITM can be installed as a Ubuntu Snap, PIP-Package or AppImage

# install ssh-mitm as snap package
$ sudo snap install ssh-mitm

# install ssh-mitm as python pip package
$ pip install ssh-mitm

Quickstart

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

$ ssh-mitm --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.

Publickey authentication

SSH-MITM is able to verify, if a user is able to login with publickey authentication on the remote server. If publickey authentication is not possible, SSH-MITM falls back to password authentication. This step does not require a forwarded agent.

For a full login on the remote server agent forwarding is still required. When no agent was forwarded, SSH-MITM can redirect the connection to a honeypot.

ssh-mitm --fallback-host username:password@hostname:port
