4NAME
5 ssh-keyscan - gather ssh public keys
6
7SYNOPSIS
8 ssh-keyscan [-t timeout] [-- | host | addrlist namelist] [-f files ...]
9
10DESCRIPTION
11 ssh-keyscan is a utility for gathering the public ssh host keys of a numM--
12 ber of hosts. It was designed to aid in building and verifying
13 ssh_known_hosts files. ssh-keyscan provides a minimal interface suitable
14 for use by shell and perl scripts.
15
16 ssh-keyscan uses non-blocking socket I/O to contact as many hosts as posM--
17 sible in parallel, so it is very efficient. The keys from a domain of
18 1,000 hosts can be collected in tens of seconds, even when some of those
19 hosts are down or do not run ssh. You do not need login access to the
20 machines you are scanning, nor does the scanning process involve any enM--
21 cryption.
22
23SECURITY
24 If you make an ssh_known_hosts file using ssh-keyscan without verifying
25 the keys, you will be vulnerable to attacks. On the other hand, if your
26 security model allows such a risk, ssh-keyscan can help you detect tamM--
27 pered keyfiles or man in the middle attacks which have begun after you
28 created your ssh_known_hosts file.
29
30OPTIONS
31 -t Set the timeout for connection attempts. If timeout seconds have
32 elapsed since a connection was initiated to a host or since the
33 last time anything was read from that host, then the connection
34 is closed and the host in question considered unavailable. DeM--
35 fault is 5 seconds.
36
37 -f Read hosts or addrlist namelist pairs from this file, one per
38 line. If - is supplied instead of a filename, ssh-keyscan will
39 read hosts or addrlist namelist pairs from the standard input.
40
41EXAMPLES
42 Print the host key for machine hostname:
43
44 ssh-keyscan hostname
45
46 Find all hosts from the file ssh_hosts which have new or different keys
47 from those in the sorted file ssh_known_hosts:
48
49 $ ssh-keyscan -f ssh_hosts | sort -u - ssh_known_hosts | \
50 diff ssh_known_hosts -

60BUGS
61 It generates "Connection closed by remote host" messages on the consoles
62 of all the machines it scans. This is because it opens a connection to
63 the ssh port, reads the public key, and drops the connection as soon as
64 it gets the key.
