Thanks!

This advice has shown me how to connect directly to an old OpenSSH server again
(not Dropbear), instead of via intermediate hops on intermediate servers :)

However after reading [1] I decided a safer kex is diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
(group14 instead of group1).

Mentioning this in case it's also an option for old Dropbear/OpenWRT users.

[1] 
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2-09.html#rfc.section.3.4
"Key Exchange (KEX) Method Updates and Recommendations for Secure Shell (SSH)".

2020-10-23 Thread Matt Johnston
Forcing diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 shouldn't usually be necessary. 
The only case would be for servers prior to 2018.76 that compiled with all 
other default options disabled.

Cheers,
Matt

2020-10-23 Thread Tang Jiye
Hi Walter,

What if I want to use ecdh and ecdsa for kex and signing while
diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 is disabled.

It should work as well right ?

Re: OpenWRT Dropbear v2020.80: Exit before auth: No matching algo kex

2020-10-23 Thread Matt Johnston
Hi Piotr,

Dropbear 2020.79 had some changes to the code that parses algorithms, it now is 
more strict about its MAX_PROPOSED_ALGO = 20 limit.
Not intentionally, but as a side-effect.

sshj advertises 30 different ciphers.

I've increased the limit to 50 in 
https://hg.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/rev/7c0fcd19e492 and it also prints a message if 
it is reached.

Someone else hit this same problem - I'll try and get a new release out soon.

Cheers,
Matt

AW: OpenWRT Dropbear v2020.80: Exit before auth: No matching algo kex

2020-10-23 Thread Walter Harms
This is caused by changes in ssh_config. You can try:
  ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 USER@TARGET 

or persistent in ssh_config 
KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 

your mileage may vary etc.

Betreff: OpenWRT Dropbear v2020.80: Exit before auth: No matching algo kex

Hi,

when trying to connect to OpenWRT router (mipsel_24kc architecture) with
PyCharm (uses sshj v0.29.0 client library) I started to get the
following error:

 Exit before auth from : No matching algo kex

I remember that couple of month ago it worked fine. I have downgraded
Dropbear package on the router to version from the previous OpenWRT
release (v2020.78) and indeed I am able to connect to it.

I have tried removing the ed25519 hostkey in v2020.80, but it does not help.

Below I am pasting hex dumps of negotiation on both versions:

OpenWRT Dropbear v2020.80: Exit before auth: No matching algo kex

2020-10-22 Thread Piotr Jurkiewicz

Hi,

when trying to connect to OpenWRT router (mipsel_24kc architecture) with 
PyCharm (uses sshj v0.29.0 client library) I started to get the 
following error:


Exit before auth from : No matching algo kex

I remember that couple of month ago it worked fine. I have downgraded 
Dropbear package on the router to version from the previous OpenWRT

I have tried removing the ed25519 hostkey in v2020.80, but it does not help.
