sshlog

A small tool to log IPs, usernames and passwords from incoming ssh-auth requests.

It opens a minimal SSH-Server and listens on IPv4 and IPv6 for auth requests. The goal of this little tool is to log the requests coming from bots living inside the wild internet.

Install

Make sure you have Golang installed and configured.

git clone https://git.hhhammer.de/hamburghammer/sshlog.git
cd sshlog
go build

Now you should be able to execute the newly generated executable with ./sshlog.

Usage

Start with:

sshlog -p 2222

Output:

2021/06/02 23:08:31 Starting ssh logger on port 2222...
