Overview ▾

Package ssh implements an SSH client and server.

SSH is a transport security protocol, an authentication protocol and a family of application protocols. The most typical application level protocol is a remote shell and this is specifically implemented. However, the multiplexed nature of SSH is exposed to users that wish to support others.

This package does not fall under the stability promise of the Go language itself, so its API may be changed when pressing needs arise.

const CertTimeInfinity = 1<<64 - 1

func DiscardRequests

func DiscardRequests(in <-chan *Request)

DiscardRequests consumes and rejects all requests from the passed-in channel.

func FingerprintLegacyMD5

func FingerprintLegacyMD5(pubKey PublicKey) string

FingerprintLegacyMD5 returns the user presentation of the key's fingerprint as described by RFC 4716 section 4.

func FingerprintSHA256

func FingerprintSHA256(pubKey PublicKey) string

FingerprintSHA256 returns the user presentation of the key's fingerprint as unpadded base64 encoded sha256 hash. This format was introduced from OpenSSH 6.8. https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.8 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-3.2 (unpadded base64 encoding)

func Marshal

func Marshal(msg interface{}) []byte

Marshal serializes the message in msg to SSH wire format. The msg argument should be a struct or pointer to struct. If the first member has the "sshtype" tag set to a number in decimal, that number is prepended to the result. If the last of member has the "ssh" tag set to "rest", its contents are appended to the output.

func MarshalAuthorizedKey

func MarshalAuthorizedKey(key PublicKey) []byte

MarshalAuthorizedKey serializes key for inclusion in an OpenSSH authorized_keys file. The return value ends with newline.

func ParseDSAPrivateKey

func ParseDSAPrivateKey(der []byte) (*dsa.PrivateKey, error)

ParseDSAPrivateKey returns a DSA private key from its ASN.1 DER encoding, as specified by the OpenSSL DSA man page.

func ParseKnownHosts

func ParseKnownHosts(in []byte) (marker string, hosts []string, pubKey PublicKey, comment string, rest []byte, err error)

ParseKnownHosts parses an entry in the format of the known_hosts file.

The known_hosts format is documented in the sshd(8) manual page. This function will parse a single entry from in. On successful return, marker will contain the optional marker value (i.e. "cert-authority" or "revoked") or else be empty, hosts will contain the hosts that this entry matches, pubKey will contain the public key and comment will contain any trailing comment at the end of the line. See the sshd(8) manual page for the various forms that a host string can take.

The unparsed remainder of the input will be returned in rest. This function can be called repeatedly to parse multiple entries.

If no entries were found in the input then err will be io.EOF. Otherwise a non-nil err value indicates a parse error.

func ParseRawPrivateKey

func ParseRawPrivateKey(pemBytes []byte) (interface{}, error)

ParseRawPrivateKey returns a private key from a PEM encoded private key. It supports RSA (PKCS#1), DSA (OpenSSL), and ECDSA private keys.

func ParseRawPrivateKeyWithPassphrase

func ParseRawPrivateKeyWithPassphrase(pemBytes, passPhrase []byte) (interface{}, error)

func Unmarshal

func Unmarshal(data []byte, out interface{}) error

Unmarshal parses data in SSH wire format into a structure. The out argument should be a pointer to struct. If the first member of the struct has the "sshtype" tag set to a '|'-separated set of numbers in decimal, the packet must start with one of those numbers. In case of error, Unmarshal returns a ParseError or UnexpectedMessageError.

type AuthMethod

An AuthMethod represents an instance of an RFC 4252 authentication method.

type AuthMethod interface {
    // contains filtered or unexported methods
}

func KeyboardInteractive

func KeyboardInteractive(challenge KeyboardInteractiveChallenge) AuthMethod

KeyboardInteractive returns a AuthMethod using a prompt/response sequence controlled by the server.

func Password

func Password(secret string) AuthMethod

Password returns an AuthMethod using the given password.

func PasswordCallback

func PasswordCallback(prompt func() (secret string, err error)) AuthMethod

PasswordCallback returns an AuthMethod that uses a callback for fetching a password.

func PublicKeys

func PublicKeys(signers ...Signer) AuthMethod

PublicKeys returns an AuthMethod that uses the given key pairs.

Example

Code:

var hostKey ssh.PublicKey
// A public key may be used to authenticate against the remote
// server by using an unencrypted PEM-encoded private key file.
//
// If you have an encrypted private key, the crypto/x509 package
// can be used to decrypt it.
key, err := ioutil.ReadFile("/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("unable to read private key: %v", err)
}

// Create the Signer for this private key.
signer, err := ssh.ParsePrivateKey(key)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("unable to parse private key: %v", err)
}

config := &ssh.ClientConfig{
    User: "user",
    Auth: []ssh.AuthMethod{
        // Use the PublicKeys method for remote authentication.
        ssh.PublicKeys(signer),
    },
    HostKeyCallback: ssh.FixedHostKey(hostKey),
}

// Connect to the remote server and perform the SSH handshake.
client, err := ssh.Dial("tcp", "host.com:22", config)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("unable to connect: %v", err)
}
defer client.Close()

func PublicKeysCallback

func PublicKeysCallback(getSigners func() (signers []Signer, err error)) AuthMethod

PublicKeysCallback returns an AuthMethod that runs the given function to obtain a list of key pairs.

func RetryableAuthMethod

func RetryableAuthMethod(auth AuthMethod, maxTries int) AuthMethod

RetryableAuthMethod is a decorator for other auth methods enabling them to be retried up to maxTries before considering that AuthMethod itself failed. If maxTries is <= 0, will retry indefinitely

This is useful for interactive clients using challenge/response type authentication (e.g. Keyboard-Interactive, Password, etc) where the user could mistype their response resulting in the server issuing a SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_FAILURE (rfc4252 #8 [password] and rfc4256 #3.4 [keyboard-interactive]); Without this decorator, the non-retryable AuthMethod would be removed from future consideration, and never tried again (and so the user would never be able to retry their entry).

Example

Code:

user := "testuser"
NumberOfPrompts := 3

// Normally this would be a callback that prompts the user to answer the
// provided questions
Cb := func(user, instruction string, questions []string, echos []bool) (answers []string, err error) {
    return []string{"answer1", "answer2"}, nil
}

config := &ClientConfig{
    HostKeyCallback: InsecureIgnoreHostKey(),
    User:            user,
    Auth: []AuthMethod{
        RetryableAuthMethod(KeyboardInteractiveChallenge(Cb), NumberOfPrompts),
    },
}

if err := tryAuth(t, config); err != nil {
    t.Fatalf("unable to dial remote side: %s", err)
}

type CertChecker

CertChecker does the work of verifying a certificate. Its methods can be plugged into ClientConfig.HostKeyCallback and ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback. For the CertChecker to work, minimally, the IsAuthority callback should be set.

type CertChecker struct {
    // SupportedCriticalOptions lists the CriticalOptions that the
    // server application layer understands. These are only used
    // for user certificates.
    SupportedCriticalOptions []string

    // IsUserAuthority should return true if the key is recognized as an
    // authority for the given user certificate. This allows for
    // certificates to be signed by other certificates. This must be set
    // if this CertChecker will be checking user certificates.
    IsUserAuthority func(auth PublicKey) bool

    // IsHostAuthority should report whether the key is recognized as
    // an authority for this host. This allows for certificates to be
    // signed by other keys, and for those other keys to only be valid
    // signers for particular hostnames. This must be set if this
    // CertChecker will be checking host certificates.
    IsHostAuthority func(auth PublicKey, address string) bool

    // Clock is used for verifying time stamps. If nil, time.Now
    // is used.
    Clock func() time.Time

    // UserKeyFallback is called when CertChecker.Authenticate encounters a
    // public key that is not a certificate. It must implement validation
    // of user keys or else, if nil, all such keys are rejected.
    UserKeyFallback func(conn ConnMetadata, key PublicKey) (*Permissions, error)

    // HostKeyFallback is called when CertChecker.CheckHostKey encounters a
    // public key that is not a certificate. It must implement host key
    // validation or else, if nil, all such keys are rejected.
    HostKeyFallback HostKeyCallback

    // IsRevoked is called for each certificate so that revocation checking
    // can be implemented. It should return true if the given certificate
    // is revoked and false otherwise. If nil, no certificates are
    // considered to have been revoked.
    IsRevoked func(cert *Certificate) bool
}

func (*CertChecker) Authenticate

func (c *CertChecker) Authenticate(conn ConnMetadata, pubKey PublicKey) (*Permissions, error)

Authenticate checks a user certificate. Authenticate can be used as a value for ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback.

func (*CertChecker) CheckCert

func (c *CertChecker) CheckCert(principal string, cert *Certificate) error

CheckCert checks CriticalOptions, ValidPrincipals, revocation, timestamp and the signature of the certificate.

func (*CertChecker) CheckHostKey

func (c *CertChecker) CheckHostKey(addr string, remote net.Addr, key PublicKey) error

CheckHostKey checks a host key certificate. This method can be plugged into ClientConfig.HostKeyCallback.

type Certificate

An Certificate represents an OpenSSH certificate as defined in [PROTOCOL.certkeys]?rev=1.8.

type Certificate struct {
    Nonce           []byte
    Key             PublicKey
    Serial          uint64
    CertType        uint32
    KeyId           string
    ValidPrincipals []string
    ValidAfter      uint64
    ValidBefore     uint64
    Permissions
    Reserved     []byte
    SignatureKey PublicKey
    Signature    *Signature
}

func (*Certificate) Marshal

func (c *Certificate) Marshal() []byte

Marshal serializes c into OpenSSH's wire format. It is part of the PublicKey interface.

func (*Certificate) SignCert

func (c *Certificate) SignCert(rand io.Reader, authority Signer) error

SignCert sets c.SignatureKey to the authority's public key and stores a Signature, by authority, in the certificate.

func (*Certificate) Type

func (c *Certificate) Type() string

Type returns the key name. It is part of the PublicKey interface.

func (*Certificate) Verify

func (c *Certificate) Verify(data []byte, sig *Signature) error

Verify verifies a signature against the certificate's public key. It is part of the PublicKey interface.

type Channel

A Channel is an ordered, reliable, flow-controlled, duplex stream that is multiplexed over an SSH connection.

type Channel interface {
    // Read reads up to len(data) bytes from the channel.
    Read(data []byte) (int, error)

    // Write writes len(data) bytes to the channel.
    Write(data []byte) (int, error)

    // Close signals end of channel use. No data may be sent after this
    // call.
    Close() error

    // CloseWrite signals the end of sending in-band
    // data. Requests may still be sent, and the other side may
    // still send data
    CloseWrite() error

    // SendRequest sends a channel request.  If wantReply is true,
    // it will wait for a reply and return the result as a
    // boolean, otherwise the return value will be false. Channel
    // requests are out-of-band messages so they may be sent even
    // if the data stream is closed or blocked by flow control.
    // If the channel is closed before a reply is returned, io.EOF
    // is returned.
    SendRequest(name string, wantReply bool, payload []byte) (bool, error)

    // Stderr returns an io.ReadWriter that writes to this channel
    // with the extended data type set to stderr. Stderr may
    // safely be read and written from a different goroutine than
    // Read and Write respectively.
    Stderr() io.ReadWriter
}

type Client

Client implements a traditional SSH client that supports shells, subprocesses, TCP port/streamlocal forwarding and tunneled dialing.

type Client struct {
    Conn
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func Dial

func Dial(network, addr string, config *ClientConfig) (*Client, error)

Dial starts a client connection to the given SSH server. It is a convenience function that connects to the given network address, initiates the SSH handshake, and then sets up a Client. For access to incoming channels and requests, use net.Dial with NewClientConn instead.

Example

Code:

var hostKey ssh.PublicKey
// An SSH client is represented with a ClientConn.
//
// To authenticate with the remote server you must pass at least one
// implementation of AuthMethod via the Auth field in ClientConfig,
// and provide a HostKeyCallback.
config := &ssh.ClientConfig{
    User: "username",
    Auth: []ssh.AuthMethod{
        ssh.Password("yourpassword"),
    },
    HostKeyCallback: ssh.FixedHostKey(hostKey),
}
client, err := ssh.Dial("tcp", "yourserver.com:22", config)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Failed to dial: ", err)
}

// Each ClientConn can support multiple interactive sessions,
// represented by a Session.
session, err := client.NewSession()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Failed to create session: ", err)
}
defer session.Close()

// Once a Session is created, you can execute a single command on
// the remote side using the Run method.
var b bytes.Buffer
session.Stdout = &b
if err := session.Run("/usr/bin/whoami"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Failed to run: " + err.Error())
}
fmt.Println(b.String())

func NewClient

func NewClient(c Conn, chans <-chan NewChannel, reqs <-chan *Request) *Client

NewClient creates a Client on top of the given connection.

func (*Client) Dial

func (c *Client) Dial(n, addr string) (net.Conn, error)

Dial initiates a connection to the addr from the remote host. The resulting connection has a zero LocalAddr() and RemoteAddr().

func (*Client) DialTCP

func (c *Client) DialTCP(n string, laddr, raddr *net.TCPAddr) (net.Conn, error)

DialTCP connects to the remote address raddr on the network net, which must be "tcp", "tcp4", or "tcp6". If laddr is not nil, it is used as the local address for the connection.

func (*Client) HandleChannelOpen

func (c *Client) HandleChannelOpen(channelType string) <-chan NewChannel

HandleChannelOpen returns a channel on which NewChannel requests for the given type are sent. If the type already is being handled, nil is returned. The channel is closed when the connection is closed.

func (*Client) Listen

func (c *Client) Listen(n, addr string) (net.Listener, error)

Listen requests the remote peer open a listening socket on addr. Incoming connections will be available by calling Accept on the returned net.Listener. The listener must be serviced, or the SSH connection may hang. N must be "tcp", "tcp4", "tcp6", or "unix".

Example

Code:

var hostKey ssh.PublicKey
config := &ssh.ClientConfig{
    User: "username",
    Auth: []ssh.AuthMethod{
        ssh.Password("password"),
    },
    HostKeyCallback: ssh.FixedHostKey(hostKey),
}
// Dial your ssh server.
conn, err := ssh.Dial("tcp", "localhost:22", config)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("unable to connect: ", err)
}
defer conn.Close()

// Request the remote side to open port 8080 on all interfaces.
l, err := conn.Listen("tcp", "0.0.0.0:8080")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("unable to register tcp forward: ", err)
}
defer l.Close()

// Serve HTTP with your SSH server acting as a reverse proxy.
http.Serve(l, http.HandlerFunc(func(resp http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(resp, "Hello world!\n")
}))

func (*Client) ListenTCP

func (c *Client) ListenTCP(laddr *net.TCPAddr) (net.Listener, error)

ListenTCP requests the remote peer open a listening socket on laddr. Incoming connections will be available by calling Accept on the returned net.Listener.

func (*Client) ListenUnix

func (c *Client) ListenUnix(socketPath string) (net.Listener, error)

ListenUnix is similar to ListenTCP but uses a Unix domain socket.

func (*Client) NewSession

func (c *Client) NewSession() (*Session, error)

NewSession opens a new Session for this client. (A session is a remote execution of a program.)

type ClientConfig

A ClientConfig structure is used to configure a Client. It must not be modified after having been passed to an SSH function.

type ClientConfig struct {
    // Config contains configuration that is shared between clients and
    // servers.
    Config

    // User contains the username to authenticate as.
    User string

    // Auth contains possible authentication methods to use with the
    // server. Only the first instance of a particular RFC 4252 method will
    // be used during authentication.
    Auth []AuthMethod
