class SSHServerTransport(SSHTransportBase): (source)

View In Hierarchy

SSHServerTransport implements the server side of the SSH protocol.
Method ssh_​KEX_​DH_​GEX_​INIT Called when we get a MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT message. Payload:: integer e (client DH public key)
Method ssh_​KEX_​DH_​GEX_​REQUEST No summary
Method ssh_​KEX_​DH_​GEX_​REQUEST_​OLD No summary
Method ssh_​KEXINIT No summary
Method ssh_​NEWKEYS Called when we get a MSG_NEWKEYS message. No payload. When we get this, the keys have been set on both sides, and we start using them to encrypt and authenticate the connection.
Method ssh_​SERVICE_​REQUEST Called when we get a MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST message. Payload:: string serviceName
Instance Variable dh​Gex​Request the KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(_OLD) that the client sent. The key generation needs this to be stored.
Instance Variable ec​Pub Undocumented
Instance Variable g the Diffie-Hellman group generator.
Instance Variable ignore​Next​Packet if True, ignore the next key exchange packet. This is set when the client sends a guessed key exchange packet but with an incorrect guess.
Instance Variable is​Client since we are never the client, this is always False.
Instance Variable p the Diffie-Hellman group prime.
Method _ssh_​KEX_​ECDH_​INIT Called from ssh_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD to handle elliptic curve key exchanges.
Method _ssh_​KEXDH_​INIT Called to handle the beginning of a non-group key exchange.

Inherited from SSHTransportBase:

Method connection​Lost When the underlying connection is closed, stop the running service (if any), and log out the avatar (if any).
Method connection​Made Called when the connection is made to the other side. We sent our version and the MSG_KEXINIT packet.
Method data​Received First, check for the version string (SSH-2.0-*). After that has been received, this method adds data to the buffer, and pulls out any packets.
Method dispatch​Message Send a received message to the appropriate method.
Method get​Host Returns an SSHTransportAddress corresponding to the this side of transport.
Method get​Packet Try to return a decrypted, authenticated, and decompressed packet out of the buffer. If there is not enough data, return None.
Method get​Peer Returns an SSHTransportAddress corresponding to the other (peer) side of this transport.
Method is​Encrypted Check if the connection is encrypted in the given direction.
Method is​Verified Check if the connection is verified/authentication in the given direction.
Method kex​Alg​.setter Set the key exchange algorithm name.
Method lose​Connection Lose the connection to the other side, sending a DISCONNECT_CONNECTION_LOST message.
Method receive​Debug Called when we receive a debug message from the other side.
Method receive​Error Called when we receive a disconnect error message from the other side.
Method receive​Unimplemented Called when we receive an unimplemented packet message from the other side.
Method send​Debug Send a debug message to the other side.
Method send​Disconnect Send a disconnect message to the other side and then disconnect.
Method send​Ignore Send a message that will be ignored by the other side. This is useful to fool attacks based on guessing packet sizes in the encrypted stream.
Method send​Kex​Init Send a KEXINIT message to initiate key exchange or to respond to a key exchange initiated by the peer.
Method send​Packet Sends a packet. If it's been set up, compress the data, encrypt it, and authenticate it before sending. If key exchange is in progress and the message is not part of key exchange, queue it to be sent later.
Method send​Unimplemented Send a message to the other side that the last packet was not understood.
Method set​Service Set our service to service and start it running. If we were running a service previously, stop it first.
Method ssh_​DEBUG No summary
Method ssh_​DISCONNECT Called when we receive a MSG_DISCONNECT message. Payload:: long code string description
Method ssh_​IGNORE Called when we receive a MSG_IGNORE message. No payload. This means nothing; we simply return.

Instance Variable current​Encryptions an SSHCiphers instance. It represents the current encryption and authentication options for the transport.
Instance Variable dh​Secret​Key Undocumented
Instance Variable dh​Secret​Key​Public​MP Undocumented
Instance Variable first the first bytes of the next packet. In order to avoid decrypting data twice, the first bytes are decrypted and stored until the whole packet is available.
Instance Variable got​Version A boolean indicating whether we have received the version string from the other side.

Instance Variable supported​Languages A list of strings representing languages supported, from most-preferred to least.
Instance Variable supported​MACs A list of strings representing the message authentication codes (hashes) supported, in order from most-preferred to least. Both this and supportedCiphers can include 'none' to use no encryption or authentication, but that must be done manually,
Instance Variable supported​Public​Keys A list of strings representing the public key types supported, in order from most-preferred to least.
Instance Variable supported​Versions A container of strings representing supported ssh protocol version numbers.
Instance Variable version A string representing the version of the server or client. Currently defaults to 'Twisted'.

Constant _KEY​_EXCHANGE​_NONE Undocumented
Constant _KEY​_EXCHANGE​_PROGRESSING Undocumented
Constant _KEY​_EXCHANGE​_REQUESTED Undocumented
Class Variable _log Undocumented
Instance Variable _blocked​By​Key​Exchange Whenever _keyExchangeState is not _KEY_EXCHANGE_NONE, this is a list of pending messages which were passed to sendPacket but could not be sent because it is not legal to send them while a key exchange is in progress. When the key exchange completes, another attempt is made to send these messages.
Instance Variable _kex​Alg Undocumented
Instance Variable _key​Exchange​State The current protocol state with respect to key exchange. This is either _KEY_EXCHANGE_NONE if no key exchange is in progress (and returns to this value after any key exchange completqes), _KEY_EXCHANGE_REQUESTED if this side of the connection initiated a key exchange, and _KEY_EXCHANGE_PROGRESSING if the other side of the connection initiated a key exchange. _KEY_EXCHANGE_NONE is the initial value (however SSH connections begin with key exchange, so it will quickly change to another state).

def ssh_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT(self, packet): (source)

Called when we get a MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT message. Payload:

    integer e (client DH public key)

We send the MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY message with our host key and signature.

Parameters
packet:bytesThe message data.
def ssh_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(self, packet): (source)

Called when we receive a MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST message. Payload:

    integer minimum
    integer ideal
    integer maximum

The client is asking for a Diffie-Hellman group between minimum and maximum size, and close to ideal if possible. We reply with a MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP message.

If we were told to ignore the next key exchange packet by ssh_KEXINIT, drop it on the floor and return.

Parameters
packet:bytesThe message data.
def ssh_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD(self, packet): (source)

This represents different key exchange methods that share the same integer value. If the message is determined to be a KEXDH_INIT, _ssh_KEXDH_INIT is called to handle it. If it is a KEX_ECDH_INIT, _ssh_KEX_ECDH_INIT is called. Otherwise, for KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD payload:

        integer ideal (ideal size for the Diffie-Hellman prime)

    We send the KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP message with the group that is
    closest in size to ideal.

If we were told to ignore the next key exchange packet by ssh_KEXINIT, drop it on the floor and return.

Parameters
packet:bytesThe message data.
def ssh_KEXINIT(self, packet): (source)
Called when we receive a MSG_KEXINIT message. For a description of the packet, see SSHTransportBase.ssh_KEXINIT(). Additionally, this method checks if a guessed key exchange packet was sent. If it was sent, and it guessed incorrectly, the next key exchange packet MUST be ignored.
def ssh_NEWKEYS(self, packet): (source)
Called when we get a MSG_NEWKEYS message. No payload. When we get this, the keys have been set on both sides, and we start using them to encrypt and authenticate the connection.
Parameters
packet:bytesThe message data.
def ssh_SERVICE_REQUEST(self, packet): (source)

Called when we get a MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST message. Payload:

    string serviceName

The client has requested a service. If we can start the service, start it; otherwise, disconnect with DISCONNECT_SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE.

Parameters
packet:bytesThe message data.
dhGexRequest = (source)
the KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(_OLD) that the client sent. The key generation needs this to be stored.
ecPub = (source)

Undocumented

the Diffie-Hellman group generator.
ignoreNextPacket: int = (source)
if True, ignore the next key exchange packet. This is set when the client sends a guessed key exchange packet but with an incorrect guess.
isClient: bool = (source)
since we are never the client, this is always False.
the Diffie-Hellman group prime.
def _ssh_KEX_ECDH_INIT(self, packet): (source)

Called from ssh_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD to handle elliptic curve key exchanges.

Payload:

    string client Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman public key

Just like _ssh_KEXDH_INIT this message type is also not dispatched directly. Extra check to determine if this is really KEX_ECDH_INIT is required.

First we load the host's public/private keys. Then we generate the ECDH public/private keypair for the given curve. With that we generate the shared secret key. Then we compute the hash to sign and send back to the client Along with the server's public key and the ECDH public key.

Parameters
packet:bytesThe message data.
Returns
None.
def _ssh_KEXDH_INIT(self, packet): (source)

Called to handle the beginning of a non-group key exchange.

Unlike other message types, this is not dispatched automatically. It is called from ssh_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD because an extra check is required to determine if this is really a KEXDH_INIT message or if it is a KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD message.

The KEXDH_INIT payload:

        integer e (the client's Diffie-Hellman public key)

We send the KEXDH_REPLY with our host key and signature.

Parameters
packet:bytesThe message data.
