* Package name : golang-github-skeema-knownhosts Version : 1.2.2 Upstream Contact: https://github.com/skeema/knownhosts/issues * URL : https://github.com/skeema/knownhosts * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Go Description : Go SSH known_hosts wrapper with host key lookup Go provides excellent functionality for OpenSSH known_hosts files in its external package golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts. However, that package is somewhat low-level, making it difficult to implement full known_hosts management similar to command-line ssh's behavior for StrictHostKeyChecking=no configuration. . This repo is a thin wrapper package around golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts, adding the following functionality: * Look up known_hosts public keys for any given host * Auto-populate ssh.ClientConfig.HostKeyAlgorithms easily based on known_hosts, providing a solution for golang/go#29286 * Write new known_hosts entries to an io.Writer * Properly format/normalize new known_hosts entries containing ipv6 addresses, providing a solution for golang/go#53463 * Determine if an ssh.HostKeyCallback's error corresponds to a host whose key has changed (indicating potential MitM attack) vs a host that just isn't known yet New dependency for golang-github-go-git-go-git. This package will be maintained within the Debian Go Packaging Team. I will need a DD to sponsor and upload this package. -- Kind regards, Maytham Alsudany
