Bug ID: 3862
Summary: Hide ssh(d) version
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.0p2
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: sshdude at proton.me
In order to make fingerprinting and attacks harder it would be nice to
have an option which removes stuff like version string from the
handshake.
iirc it is sufficient that there is a "OpenSSH" string inside. But
beyond that nothing else is required.
There are some tutorials out there that do this by recompilation or
binary patching. But a native option would be more appropriate since
this seems to be a concern for quite a few users.
