| 1191 | When connecting to a server for the first time, |

| 1193 | (unless the option |
| 1194 | .Cm StrictHostKeyChecking |
| 1195 | has been disabled). |
| 1196 | Fingerprints can be determined using |

Darren Tucker | f6bffb1 | 2008-06-14 09:04:26 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 1201 | If the fingerprint is already known, it can be matched |

| 1218 | if the session itself is interactive or not. |
| 1219 | By learning the pattern a known server produces, a user can easily |
| 1220 | find out that the host key has changed when a completely different pattern |
| 1221 | is displayed. |
| 1222 | Because these patterns are not unambiguous however, a pattern that looks |
| 1223 | similar to the pattern remembered only gives a good probability that the |
| 1224 | host key is the same, not guaranteed proof. |
| 1225 | .Pp |
| 1226 | To get a listing of the fingerprints along with their random art for |
| 1227 | all known hosts, the following command line can be used: |

| 1229 | .Dl $ ssh-keygen -lv -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts |
| 1230 | .Pp |
Damien Miller | bbc5909 | 2006-01-31 21:46:51 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1231 | If the fingerprint is unknown, |
| 1232 | an alternative method of verification is available: |
| 1233 | SSH fingerprints verified by DNS. |
| 1234 | An additional resource record (RR), |
| 1235 | SSHFP, |
| 1236 | is added to a zonefile |
| 1237 | and the connecting client is able to match the fingerprint |
| 1238 | with that of the key presented. |
| 1239 | .Pp |
| 1240 | In this example, we are connecting a client to a server, |

| 1248 | The output lines will have to be added to the zonefile. |

| 1250 | .Pp |
| 1251 | .Dl $ dig -t SSHFP host.example.com |
| 1252 | .Pp |
