Where is the known hosts file?

.ssh/known_hosts
On a Mac or Linux machine – the known_hosts file is located in the . ssh/known_hosts directory.

Why are SSH key sharing vulnerabilities a problem?

SSH key duplication creates complicated, many-to-many private public key mappings that significantly reduce security because it is difficult to rotate and revoke a single key without breaking untold other SSH key relationships that share the same key fingerprint. SSH key sharing is also dangerous because it reduces auditability and nonrepudiation.

What is a host key in SSH protocol?

A host key is a cryptographic key used for authenticating computers in the SSH protocol. Host keys are key pairs, typically using the RSA, DSA, or ECDSA algorithms.

How does the SSH-hostkey NSE script work?

If this is set, the script will check if the known hosts file contains a key for the host being scanned and will compare it with the keys that have been found by the script. The script will try to detect your known-hosts file but you can, optionally, pass the path of the file to this option.

What can an attacker do with a privileged SSH key?

To make matters worse, when an attacker gains access to one privileged SSH key, she or he can access every SSH key stored on that machine and spider the entire company network, often gaining access to all company data.
