If you haven't seen it already, please check out the press release
about SANS and SSH Communications Security providing supported SSH
Secure Shell free of charge to all universities globally. It can be
found at http://www.ssh.com/about/press/release01032000.html.
In short, SSH grants universities around the world a free right to use
SSH Secure Shell free of charge within their organization for
non-commercial use. This includes both Windows and Unix versions.
The license covers approximately two million university users.
University computers are generally easy to break into, and are
frequently used by hackers to hide their trails and to harness large
numbers of computers for performing denial of service attacks. Wide
use of the SSH Secure Shell makes it impossible to attack systems by
collecting passwords from the net. We expect that this grant will
have a major impact in the overall security of the Internet globally
by reducing such attacks and by making hackers easier to track.
A new license agreement for SSH Secure Shell is being prepared, and
will be posted to http://www.ssh.com/products/ssh in a few days (I
will mail a notice to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when it is available).
The www.ssh.org site will contain detailed information and
instructions on how to utilize this license.
Currently, beta versions of SSH Secure Shell 2.1 are available for
both Windows and Unix at http://www.ssh.com/.
We expect to have the detailed information, licenses, and release
versions available on www.ssh.org within two weeks.
To subscribe the SSH mailing list, please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with "subscribe ssh" in the body of the message. The list is for
discussion and announcements regarding the Secure Shell. The mailing
list is bidirectionally gatewayed to comp.security.ssh.
Please note also that use of the SSH Secure Shell in commercial
enterprises requires licensing. For information on pricing and
licenses, please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This information will
also be posted on www.ssh.com as soon as the releases are ready. In
the meantime, please feel free to try out the beta versions.
