In plain words

My SSH server knows who you are is an SSH server application launched in 2015. It identifies and recognizes users connecting to it. The project appears to be a technical demonstration or tool for SSH authentication and identity verification. It was created by Filippo and documented on their blog.

Here’s a fun PoC I built thanks to Ben’s dataset . I don’t want to ruin the surprise, so just try this command. (It’s harmless.) For the security crowd: don’t worry, I don’t have any OpenSSH 0day and even if I did I wouldn’t burn them on my blog. Also, ssh is designed to log into untrusted servers. Update 2016-01-16 : yeah, the roaming bug , I know. Kinda called it. Anyway, the server will act as a test now and warn you if you connect with roaming enabled (i.e. if you are vulnerable). Still, you should not trust me and update first! The server you will connect to is open source and written in Go , by thefrom blog.filippo.io

    Keypub.sh – OAuth for the terminal using SSH keys2024 · keypub.sh · ▲222

    Hi HN! I built KeyPub.sh to solve the problem of user verification for CLI applications. It's essentially OAuth for the terminal, but using SSH keys that developers and users already have. - No installation needed - works with existing SSH setup - Privacy-focused: users control what email info is shared - Simple email verification process - Free public service - Perfect for CLI app developers who don't want to build user verification Try it with: `$ ssh keypub.sh about` Source code: https://github.com/skariel/keypub
