				20	.Sh DESCRIPTION
				21	.Nm
				22	is a utility for gathering the public ssh host keys of a number of
				23	hosts. It was designed to aid in building and verifying
				24	.Pa ssh_known_hosts
				25	files.
				26	.Nm
				27	provides a minimal interface suitable for use by shell and perl
				28	scripts.
				29	.Pp
				30	.Nm
				31	uses non-blocking socket I/O to contact as many hosts as possible in
				32	parallel, so it is very efficient. The keys from a domain of 1,000
				33	hosts can be collected in tens of seconds, even when some of those
				34	hosts are down or do not run ssh. You do not need login access to the
Ben Lindstrom	f73e05e	2001-04-19 20:31:02 +0000	[diff] [blame]	35	machines you are scanning, nor does the scanning process involve
Ben Lindstrom	b6434ae	2000-12-05 01:15:09 +0000	[diff] [blame]	36	any encryption.
				37	.Sh SECURITY
				38	If you make an ssh_known_hosts file using
				39	.Nm
				40	without verifying the keys, you will be vulnerable to
				41	.I man in the middle
				42	attacks.
				43	On the other hand, if your security model allows such a risk,
				44	.Nm
				45	can help you detect tampered keyfiles or man in the middle attacks which
				46	have begun after you created your ssh_known_hosts file.

				91	.Sh BUGS
				92	It generates "Connection closed by remote host" messages on the consoles
				93	of all the machines it scans.
				94	This is because it opens a connection to the ssh port, reads the public
				95	key, and drops the connection as soon as it gets the key.
