SSH Taking Stand On Vulnerability

Posted by Hemos on from the spinning-the-press dept.

jeffy124 writes "SSH Communications is recognizing the vulnerability claim made by UC Berkeley researchers earlier this week. They say it is not a practical threat to the ssh protocol, people can still remain confident in keeping communications over ssh private. While this is true IMO, they are open to and will be researching techniques that would make the standard stronger, along with hopes of lessening this vulnerability."

    Whe you see that lock thingy on your browser just switch your hands on the keyboard. That's right, put your right hand on the left side of the keyboard and vice versa. We were going to write a technical paper on this put I just drew a picture on a napkin this morning.

    Sinceretly,
