Working with SSH - Webcast

This webcast is an Introduction to working with SSH. We will briefly cover what SSH is, and why it is used. Also, due to the number of ways to run SSH, we’ll take some time to review a few common options. This can range from using a Linux terminal, PowerShell, PuTTY, or some other terminal window or client. We’ll look at the requirements needed to get SSH setup and ready to use, with a focus on Windows 10 and Linux environments.

Within the SSH configuration file, there are several options available. This is focused on the Linux sshd_config file, which is where we will spend time understanding what these options mean, and then try to find a balance between configuring a system for ease of access versus security. We cover Port, AddressFamily, ListenAddress, PermitRootLogin, PasswordAuthentication, AllowTcpForwarding, GatewayPorts, X11Forwarding, Allow/Deny Users and Allow/Deny Groups.

Finally, we’ll dive into a few different examples and examine use cases for connecting via name/password, using public/private key pairs, and various options for port forwarding and tunneling.
