SSH Vulnerabilities Identified

SSH Audit
Critical SSH Vulnerabilities
NSA Backdoored Algorithms – 4 elliptic curve implementations suspected of containing NSA backdoors
Broken Cryptography – SHA-1 hash algorithms still enabled (known to be broken)
Weak Encryption – 2048-bit DH group providing only 112-bit security
SSH Audit Vulnerabilities
Brute Force
SSH Brute-Forcing Tools Comparison

Hydra: The most used and versatile brute-forcing tool. Performs rapid, parallelized login attempts against many services, including SSH.

hydra -L user_list.txt -p placeholder_password ssh://your.server.ip
Hydra Test 1

Patator: Modern flexible brute-forcing tool; less prone to false positives and has modular design.

Log Analysis
Key Security Events & What They Mean
Log Analysis

Connection closed by invalid user ... [preauth]: This is the most common line. It means the connection was closed before authentication even finished because the username didn't exist. This is your first line of defense.

Connection closed by authenticating user root ... [preauth]: This is more serious. The username root is valid, but the connection was closed because the password was wrong. This confirms to the attacker that root is a valid account on your system.

error: maximum authentication attempts exceeded ... Too many authentication failures: This is a key security feature in action! Your SSH server (sshd) is detecting multiple failed login attempts from a single IP and is cutting them off. This is exactly what you want to see. It's likely due to a setting like MaxAuthTries in your sshd_config.

Web Scanner
Nikto Web Vulnerability Scanner

Nikto: Command-line based web vulnerability scanner.

nikto -h http://<ip.address>
Nikto Scan 1
Nikto Scan 1

Key Findings:

1. Clickjacking Vulnerability (Medium Risk)

+ /: The anti-clickjacking X-Frame-Options header is not present.

What is Clickjacking? A user is tricked into clicking something different from what they perceive (UI Redress Attack).

Impact: User interface manipulation, action hijacking. Malicious actors can embed and manipulate our CI/CD interface with malicious iframes.

2. Server Identification

+ Root page / redirects to: https://jenkins.aethermail.is/

Server is running Jenkins, a popular CI/CD automation server that often has weak default credentials.

3. MIME Type Confusion (Low Risk)

+ /: The X-Content-Type-Options header is not set.

Vulnerability: MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type confusion.

Impact: Browser might render content incorrectly. Example: API Response Hijacking.

Challenges & Solutions

Building a password rotation engine at scale presented unique technical and operational challenges.

01

False DDoS Flagging - Hetzner Incident

The Problem

Our legitimate password rotation requests were flagged as HTTP DDoS attacks by Cloudflare's network, resulting in an abuse complaint from Hetzner.

3,000+
Requests Mitigated
24hrs
Service Disruption

Our Solution

  • Implemented request rate limiting and exponential backoff
  • Added user-agent rotation and request fingerprinting
  • Distributed requests across multiple IP addresses
  • Whitelisted our IPs with major CDN providers
Hetzner DDoS Incident Report
02

Gmail OAuth Scope Restrictions

The Challenge

Google's restricted OAuth scopes prevented automated email parsing for password reset links without extensive verification.

Resolution

Developed a hybrid approach using Gmail API for metadata and secure user-authorized access for content parsing.

03

CAPTCHA & Bot Detection

The Challenge

Modern websites implement sophisticated bot detection and CAPTCHA systems that block automated password rotation.

Our Approach

  • Integrated 2Captcha and Anti-Captcha services
  • Implemented browser automation with Playwright
  • Developed ML-based CAPTCHA solving for simple challenges
  • Created human-like interaction patterns
04

Self-Led Project Management

The Challenge

As a self-led project without external oversight, it was difficult to stay on pace with our Jira schedule and sprint backlog. Managing 11 sprints across 6 months required extreme discipline.

11
Total Sprints
2x/week
Team Meetings
14-16hrs
Per Session

Our Solution: Marathon Coding Sessions

  • Team met twice weekly for marathon coding sessions
  • Sessions ran from 6-7 AM to 8-10 PM (14-16 hours)
  • Completed entire sprint backlogs in single sessions
  • Always stayed ahead of schedule through intense focus
  • Used pair programming to maintain code quality
  • Implemented daily standups via Discord when not meeting

05

Infrastructure Scaling

The Challenge

Initial architecture couldn't handle concurrent rotation requests for 10,000+ users without significant latency.

Solution Implemented

  • Migrated to Kubernetes for auto-scaling
  • Implemented Redis queue for job distribution
  • Added horizontal pod autoscaling
  • Optimized database queries and added caching layers

Key Takeaways

Rate Limiting is Critical

Always implement proper rate limiting to avoid being flagged as malicious traffic

Distributed Architecture

Distribute requests across multiple IPs and regions to avoid detection

Provider Communication

Proactively communicate with hosting providers about your legitimate use case

Monitor Everything

Comprehensive monitoring helps identify issues before they become critical
