I would like some clarification regarding the use of MaxStartups. I have always used the three colon separated value that enables the random drop capabilities, but the documentation for sshd says that MaxStartups can also take a single value which sets a max and leaves random drops off. When I try this, sshd tells me that it got an illegal integer. Looking...

Hello, What is the effect of MaxStartups in the configuration file sshd_config?

Hi, We serve a fairly substantial number[1] of ssh connections across our fleet.? We have hit MaxStartups limits in the past and bumped it up a few times (currently at 300), but we have no warning before the limit is reached and connections start being dropped.? What I would love is some sort of instrumentation that could let us see the highest number of concurrent pre-auth connections the current...

The patch below (against openssh 3.2.3p1) adds a CheckMaxStartups option, defaulting to yes, to determine whether sshd calls drop_connection(). The motivation behind this is twofold. In our environment, our timesharing machines get enough incoming connections that will trigger spuriously with the default value (10 forked unauthenticated connections) as well as...

Hi, I am not sure to report this as a bug. so mailing to the list. I have sshd(openssh3.5p1) server running on my router and when i run tcpjunk to that port, sshd gets killed after some time 192.168.71.1 is my sshd server and 192.168.71.4 is my client from where i send my dos attack This is the tcpjunk command i gave to the ssh server #tcpjunk -s 192.168.71.1 -p 22 -c req -i 100 req session

...p://www.openssh.com/portable.html This release fixes several bugs reported since the previous release and extends portability to NeXT and Reliant Unix. As usual, the OpenBSD team has been hard at work further polishing and enhancing OpenSSH. This release brings a new configuration directive "MaxStartups" which mitigates connection flooding attacks, further details are in the sshd man-page. Another noteworthy difference from previous releases is that 'FallBackToRsh' now defaults to 'no'. Users of this feature may need to edit their /etc/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config files to ach...

Other than cranking up logging to debug2, is there a way to better tune logging on a server to see if I am running into max sessions ? On FreeBSD RELENG11 I am periodically seeing connections being refused- 3way handshake not completing or completing and then FINs. Typically, I have a hundred or so connections at one time, but they can bounce up to a few hundred on occasion. Without leaving the

...024-04-23-an-analysis-of-dheat-dos-against-ssh-in-cloud-environments/ A short summary: the default MaxStartup setting is fully ineffective in fixing the problem in low-latency network conditions; it is very easy to force a target to hit 100% CPU utilization in that case. Furthermore, the PerSourceMaxStartups setting is only effective when set to 1, which would only allow one unauthenticated connection at a time from any given source. This works poorly in use cases where a burst of new connects is normal. Hence, connection throttling at the kernel level seems a bit better to use in the general case (f...

Hi, we use OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 and we would like to change the complete printer Spool communication from Unix r-Commands to ssh "OpenSSH". Sometimes, we have problems, because of very high connection set-ups in extremely short time intervals, more than 10 open sessions. The connection set-up is partly declined with the error message: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote

...the over-the-wire call, including SIGALRM. The alarm implementing login_grace_time was queued, but never delivered to the process. As a result, sshd process stayed unauthenticated much longer than LoginGraceTime seconds. The user tried ssh-ing in multiple times, eventually wasting up soft limit of MaxStartups connections. After that, sshd started probabilistically dropping connections of other users. In this case this has happened by an accident. But an attacker, who controls their NFS home directory, could use this to mount a DoS attacke on sshd. All they needed to do is stop nfs/service on their home...

Hello, I apologize if this is the wrong list. It was the list I was directed towards. I have reviewed the archives as well as everything I could google before posting. Any help is most appreciated: We're seeing an error during sftp and ssh connections with consistent regularity. It's triggered by a high number of connections coming into sftp/ssh at the same time. It affects

Folks, I use OpenSSH to poll a number of remote servers once every five minutes and obtain a number of attributes. This is done using ssh as "sexec": ssh stats at remotehost getstats This returns the output of the getstats program which is parsed, etc... The problem is that after so many connections, the parent sshd hangs and does not accept any more connections. I have
