27 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
28 | .Nm | |
29 | is a utility for gathering the public ssh host keys of a number of | |
30 | hosts. | |
31 | It was designed to aid in building and verifying | |
32 | .Pa ssh_known_hosts | |
33 | files. | |
34 | .Nm | |
35 | provides a minimal interface suitable for use by shell and perl | |
36 | scripts. | |
37 | .Pp | |
38 | .Nm | |
39 | uses non-blocking socket I/O to contact as many hosts as possible in | |
40 | parallel, so it is very efficient. | |
41 | The keys from a domain of 1,000 | |
42 | hosts can be collected in tens of seconds, even when some of those | |
43 | hosts are down or do not run ssh. | |
44 | For scanning, one does not need | |
45 | login access to the machines that are being scanned, nor does the | |
46 | scanning process involve any encryption. | |
47 | .Pp | |
48 | The options are as follows: | |
49 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
50 | .It Fl 4 | |
51 | Forces | |
52 | .Nm | |
53 | to use IPv4 addresses only. | |
54 | .It Fl 6 | |
55 | Forces | |
56 | .Nm | |
57 | to use IPv6 addresses only. | |
58 | .It Fl f Ar file | |
59 | Read hosts or | |
60 | .Pa addrlist namelist | |
61 | pairs from this file, one per line. | |
62 | If | |
63 | .Pa - | |
64 | is supplied instead of a filename, | |
65 | .Nm | |
66 | will read hosts or | |
67 | .Pa addrlist namelist | |
68 | pairs from the standard input. | |
69 | .It Fl H | |
70 | Hash all hostnames and addresses in the output. | |
71 | Hashed names may be used normally by | |
72 | .Nm ssh | |
73 | and | |
74 | .Nm sshd , | |
75 | but they do not reveal identifying information should the file's contents | |
76 | be disclosed. | |
77 | .It Fl p Ar port | |
78 | Port to connect to on the remote host. | |
79 | .It Fl T Ar timeout | |
80 | Set the timeout for connection attempts. | |
81 | If | |
82 | .Pa timeout | |
83 | seconds have elapsed since a connection was initiated to a host or since the | |
84 | last time anything was read from that host, then the connection is | |
85 | closed and the host in question considered unavailable. | |
86 | Default is 5 seconds. | |
87 | .It Fl t Ar type | |
88 | Specifies the type of the key to fetch from the scanned hosts. | |
89 | The possible values are | |
90 | .Dq rsa1 | |
91 | for protocol version 1 and | |
92 | .Dq rsa | |
93 | or | |
94 | .Dq dsa | |
95 | for protocol version 2. | |
96 | Multiple values may be specified by separating them with commas. | |
97 | The default is | |
98 | .Dq rsa . | |
99 | .It Fl V Ar rdomain | |
100 | Set the routing domain. | |
101 | .It Fl v | |
102 | Verbose mode. | |
103 | Causes | |
104 | .Nm | |
105 | to print debugging messages about its progress. | |
106 | .El | |
107 | .Sh SECURITY | |
108 | If an ssh_known_hosts file is constructed using | |
109 | .Nm | |
110 | without verifying the keys, users will be vulnerable to | |
111 | .Em man in the middle | |
112 | attacks. | |
113 | On the other hand, if the security model allows such a risk, | |
114 | .Nm | |
115 | can help in the detection of tampered keyfiles or man in the middle | |
116 | attacks which have begun after the ssh_known_hosts file was created. | |

163 | .An David Mazieres Aq dm@lcs.mit.edu | |
164 | wrote the initial version, and | |
165 | .An Wayne Davison Aq wayned@users.sourceforge.net | |
166 | added support for protocol version 2. | |
167 | .Sh BUGS | |
168 | It generates "Connection closed by remote host" messages on the consoles | |
169 | of all the machines it scans if the server is older than version 2.9. | |
170 | This is because it opens a connection to the ssh port, reads the public | |
171 | key, and drops the connection as soon as it gets the key. |
