Use a SSH Config File to Manage SSH Connections to Various Remote Servers (or Pi's) instead of remembering IP addresses, ports, etc

Using SSH profiles can help you in cases where you regularly connect to various servers (especially if you've added custom SSH ports to the mix too). No need to remember the IP address and other such details for SSH connection.

So once you've configured this config file in ~/.ssh all you need to login is something like 'ssh webserver' or 'ssh omv-server'. It won't remember passwords, but if you have set up public key access, you won't need any password to login.

This is on my todo list now as I have two servers and two Raspberry Pi's that I log into quite regularly, and every time it is a check for the IP address, correct user name, password, etc.

Trap hackers in your server using Endlessh as a SSH Honeypot and wastes their time

Endlessh is an SSH tarpit that very slowly sends an endless, random SSH banner. It keeps SSH clients locked up for hours or even days at a time. The purpose is to put your real SSH server on another port and then let the script kiddies get stuck in this tarpit instead of bothering a real server.

When you are operating with multiple Linux servers in various locations, or if you are just trying to save some ideal time accessing these servers, you will want to use an SSH public and private key pair to make life much easier by logging into remote machines and running commands without entering passwords. Also, the SSH key pairs are more secure as they are not vulnerable to common brute-force password hacking attacks.

In this article, you will learn the process of creating the SSH keys and setting up your Linux servers for easy remote passwordless access with said keys.
