La sécurité SSH est souvent négligée… jusqu’au jour où une attaque brute force ou une mauvaise configuration vous met à genoux. Heureusement, il existe un outil open source simple, rapide et redoutablement efficace pour auditer la sécurité de votre serveur SSH : SSH-Audit.
Dans ce guide, on va voir ensemble comment utiliser SSH-Audit pour scanner, comprendre les failles et corriger les erreurs sur un serveur Ubuntu 24.04.
Installer SSH-Audit avec Python
SSH-Audit est un script Python autonome. Pas besoin de bibliothèque externe, pas de dépendances lourdes. Juste Python, un terminal et c’est parti :
pipx install ssh-auditRésultat:
installed package ssh-audit 3.3.0, installed using Python 3.12.3
These apps are now globally available
- ssh-audit
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨Code language: CSS (css)Vous pouvez lancer l’audit depuis votre fenêtre de terminal:
ssh-audit monserveur.exemple.com -pPORTNUMBERCode language: CSS (css)Si vous voulez tester sans rien installer, vous pouvez aussi passer par le service en ligne ssh-audit.com : entrez simplement l’adresse IP ou le nom de domaine de votre serveur, SSH-Audit vous renvoie un rapport clair et lisible.
Voici le rapport de ssh-audit pour un Ubuntu Server de base, avant optimisation :

`- [info] OpenSSH's GEX fallback mechanism was triggered during testing. Very old SSH clients will still be able to create connections using a 2048-bit modulus, though modern clients will use 3072. This can only be disabled by recompiling the code (see https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/V_9_4/dh.c#L477).
