Brute-Force SSH Server Attacks Surge (InformationWeek) Posted May 15, 2008 1:05 UTC (Thu) by csamuel (subscriber, #2624) [Link] Except that, according to the Metasploit project, on Debian/Ubuntu boxes with broken OpenSSL: When creating a new OpenSSH key, there are only 32,767 possible outcomes for a given architecture, key size, and key type. The reason is that the only "random" data being used by the PRNG is the ID of the process. [...] Links to the pregenerated key sets for 1024-bit DSA and 2048-bit RSA keys (x86) are provided in the downloads section below. ...and if you've used such a system with a good DSA key then you can consider that compromised too.
