  1. Managing SSH keys with KeePassXC is actually quite nice --------------

    It all started with a post on Lobste.rs, someone asking how others manage their SSH keys. It was a question that I had already asked myself multiple times, so I was genuinely interested in reading about what others had to say.

    There must be a better way than storing them encrypted on your disk and manually inputting the passphrases while loading them to the agent every morning.

    When KeePassXC […]

  2. Today on "How is this the state of the art!?": ssh-agent

    I just learned that you may get locked out of your server due to too many authentication requests because the ssh-agent protocol has zero provisions for prefiltering keys and just blindly tries everything in your database until one of them goes through.

    Is there a security reason why ssh can't send the host's hash to the agent to tell it what server it should return the key for?

    #sshAgent #ssh

  3. Can somebody recommend me alternatives to for storing ssh passphrases. Please no DE dependent solutions.

  4. Too many issues. Can someone recommend a gnome-keyring alternative (besides kwallet) that works well in a #hyprland / #wayland environment with #sshagent? And actually remembers keys/password? Would need to be unlocked with #sddm and I will be using it on #nixos.

  5. Знакомство с SSH

    Как гласит википедия, «SSH — сетевой протокол прикладного уровня, позволяющий производить удалённое управление операционной системой и туннелирование TCP-соединений (например, для передачи файлов). Схож по функциональности с протоколами Telnet и rlogin, но, в отличие от них, шифрует весь трафик, включая и передаваемые пароли. SSH допускает выбор различных алгоритмов шифрования. SSH-клиенты и SSH-серверы доступны для большинства сетевых операционных систем». Когда в первый раз знакомишься с ним, то, скорее всего, он представляется как средство для доступа к удалённому серверу. В первую очередь, так оно и есть. Однако его возможности намного шире.

  6. How to Fix GNOME Keyring v46.1 Missing SSH_AUTH_SOCK

    How to solve the missing SSH_AUTH_SOCK when using GNOME Keyring with an secure shell (SSH) keys agent such as KeePassXC, ssh-agent or gpg-agent.

  7. So far, I feel as if it’s easier to run git-annex wrong than it is to get it working correctly. Whatever I had working before is now failing.

  8. Not-so-obvious things to do with the @keepassxc #PasswordManager:

    - use #tags: tag every entry with the #email #address(es) you've given to the respective website (remember: user names aren't always email addresses!) - When email addresses change, you'll know immediately which accounts will be affected

    - Lock your #ssh #secret #keys away as attachments within #KeePassXC - it can automatically pass them on to, and withdraw them from, #SshAgent

  9. Anyone know how to get SSH key passwords for ssh-agent to import into the “login” keychain on macOS, rather than into the “Local Items” keychain? (The “login” keychain is already set as the default, but that doesn’t seem to matter anymore.)

  10. I've noticed a bug in #Plasma when running #Wayland I'm not able to run #sshagent so I only need to put my passphrase once in. I always get the passphrase question before each #SSH session But when running in #X11 I get a question as soon as I log in from a #GUI tool (#Kwallet I think) for me to unlock the key and everything works fine.

  11. How do you use ssh-agent? I'm still trying to find a decent solution
