Secure Shell

Protocol: A
Comprehensive
Guide
• SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure network protocol.
• Enables safe communication and data transfer over the internet.
• Used for logging into remote servers and executing commands.
• Developed to replace insecure protocols like Telnet and FTP.
• Ensures strong password authentication and encrypted data transfer.
Security Features of SSH
1 Strong Authentication 2 Protection from Attacks
SSH provides strong password authentication and encrypted The SSH protocol protects the network from various attacks
communication with a public key over an insecure channel. such as DNS spoofing, IP source routing, and IP spoofing.

3 Data Encryption 4 Secure Communication


SSH encrypts all data transmitted between the client and server, SSH establishes a secure connection between two computers,
ensuring that sensitive information is protected from allowing them to communicate securely over an insecure
unauthorized access. network.
SSH: A Simple Analogy
Before SSH After SSH

Without SSH protocol, data can be opened and read by anyone.

When using SSH protocol, data is encrypted and secured with


public keys, and only the receiver can open it.
Key Usages of SSH
1 Secure Access
SSH provides secure access to users and automated processes.

2 Secure File Transfer


SSH is an easy and secure way to transfer files from one system to
another over an insecure network.

3 Remote Command Execution


SSH allows users to issue remote commands to the users.

4 Network Infrastructure Management


SSH helps users manage the network infrastructure and other
critical system components.
SSH: Replacing Legacy
Protocols
Telnet and rlogin
SSH is used to log in to shell on a remote system (Host), which
replaces Telnet and rlogin.

rsh
SSH is used to execute a single command on the host, which
replaces rsh.

FTP
SSH is used to replace insecure file transfer protocol FTP.
SSH: Advanced Applications
1 Secure File Synchronization
SSH combines with rsync utility to backup, copy, and mirror files with
complete security and efficiency.

2 Port Forwarding
SSH can be used for forwarding a port.

3 Automatic Login
By using SSH, we can set up the automatic login to a remote server such
as OpenSSH.

4 Secure Web Browsing


We can securely browse the web through the encrypted proxy connection
with the SSH client, supporting the SOCKS protocol.
