SSHamble is a Go-based research and scanning tool for probing SSH server implementations. It enumerates SSH capabilities and tests for authentication exposures, pre-auth state transitions, timing analysis, and post-session enumeration attacks.

Use cases

  • scan a network range for exposed SSH services
  • test SSH servers for authentication vulnerabilities
  • analyze SSH pre-authentication state transitions
  • perform SSH authentication timing analysis
  • enumerate users via post-session attacks
  • check SSH keys against the badkeys blocklist

When to choose

  • auditing SSH exposure across a network
  • security research on SSH implementations
  • checking for compromised keys via badkeys

When to avoid

  • you need a hardened production SSH server rather than a testing tool
  • you need a full vulnerability scanner beyond SSH
