mozilla/ssh_scan - A SSH configuration and policy scanner

Key Benefits

Minimal Dependancies - Uses native Ruby and BinData to do its work, no heavy dependancies.
Not Just a Script - Implementation is portable for use in another project or for automation of tasks.
Simple - Just point ssh_scan at an SSH service and get a JSON report of what it supports and its policy status.
Configurable - Make your own custom policies that fit your unique policy requirements.

Setup

To install and run as a gem, type:

gem install ssh_scan

To install and run from source, type:

# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/mozilla/ssh_scan.git
cd ssh_scan

# install rvm,
# you might have to provide root to install missing packages
