SSH
stands for Secure Shell, which is a program
for logging in to another computer over a network,
to execute commands in a remote machine, and
to move files from one machine to another.
It provides strong authentication and secure
communications over insecure channels.
SSH
protects a network from attacks such as IP spoofing,
IP source routing, and DNS spoofing. An attacker
who has managed to take over a network can only
force ssh to disconnect. He or she cannot play
back the traffic or hijack the connection when
encryption is enabled.
When using ssh the entire login session, including transmission
of password, is encrypted; therefore it is almost impossible
for an outsider to collect passwords.
SSH is available for Windows, Unix, Macintosh, and OS/2, and
it also works with RSA authentication. |
