AI-generated summary
This is a summary of a Linux tutorial on SSH services. It includes exercises on creating multiple users with random passwords, concatenating strings, performing arithmetic operations, counting the number of users and ordinary users on a system, removing spaces from a string, and backing up log files.

1. Practice#

  1. Write a script to batch add users, with usernames starting with "user". The specific number of users to be added is determined by user input, and a random password (12 random characters) is set for each user. Record the created users and passwords, saving them to the /tmp/user file.

  2. How to concatenate two strings, sum two integers, and divide 5 by 3, keeping two decimal places?

  3. How to calculate how many users are on the local machine and how many are regular users?

  4. How to remove all spaces from a string?

  5. Backup the /var/log/nginx/access.log log every five minutes, naming it in the format 2020-11-15_10_05-access.log.tar.gz. Place the backup log files in the /nginx/ directory.

  6. Find files in the /etc/ directory that were modified more than 3 days ago but within the last 10 days, and record these files in the /tmp/etc_log file.

1.1 Write a script to batch add users, with usernames starting with "user". The specific number of users to be added is determined by user input, and a random password (12 random characters) is set for each user. Record the created users and passwords, saving them to the /tmp/user file.#

2. Practice#

Please write a simple rock-paper-scissors game in shell, with enumerated values (0 for rock, 1 for scissors, 2 for paper). There are two players, rob1 and rob2, whose moves are automatically enumerated by the system, and play ten rounds in total, finally giving the results of the ten rounds.

Example 1: Determine various situations using if statements

SSH Service

3. Introduction to SSH Service#

Remote Shell Application

  • Allows users to execute any command on a remote machine
  • Redirects standard output to local
  • Early plaintext remote protocol: telnet

SSH (Secure Shell)

  • Provides a secure shell environment for clients for remote management
  • Default port: TCP 22

SSH is based on public key encryption (asymmetric encryption) technology

  • Data is encrypted during transmission
  • Authentication of client and server

Note: Port 23 is plaintext and has been phased out#

.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is ssh?

​ ssh --> secure shell

​ remote login program -- remote login mode

​ A service that encrypts data transmission, mainly used for remote login

Note: Putting data into an encrypted shell is a secure protocol#

.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ssh protocol is an application layer protocol, and the service implemented based on the ssh protocol is called the ssh service.

The ssh service is mainly available on HP-UX, LINUX, AIX, and UNIX systems (Unix-like systems), and is not available on Windows.

Note: The ftp protocol is also an application layer protocol, and the service implemented based on the protocol is called the ftp service.#

.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two common login methods for ssh:

  1. Password login

  2. Key login (passwordless login) # Note: No password required

Note: To log into a host, you need to know the host's IP, be allowed to log in, and have a network connection to access that host.#

Note: The default port for ssh service is port 22, which can be changed.#

.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: /etc/services can view the default port numbers for common services#

[root@cPen_web lianxi]# less /etc/services 
ssh             22/tcp                          # The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol
ssh             22/udp                          # The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol
# Note: Generally, ssh uses tcp for transmission

.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Because all its data is encrypted, it is considered a secure shell.#

Note: Data exchange between two hosts involves packet transmission.#

Note: Making a request to another service is essentially sending a packet to it, which contains the request.#

Note: Normally, if not encrypted, the information is in plaintext and is not secure; the ssh service encrypts the data, so only host A and host B know how to decrypt it, while others do not.#

Note: After installing the system (minimum installation), the ssh service is generally included and usually starts automatically with the system.#

.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example: Check if the ssh service is running
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Check the process
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# ps ef |grep ssh			# Note: The process name is sshd
2. pidof sshd									# Note: Determine if a service has a pid
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# pidof sshd				# Note: If the service is running, there must be a pid
2545 2543 2542 2538 2537 2536 909
# There must be a pid if the service is running
3. Check the network connection listening status using netstat
# Note: yum install net-tools
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# netstat -atpl |grep ssh		# Note: a all; t tcp; p port
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# netstat -atpln |grep ssh
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      909/sshd            
# Note: listen status indicates it is listening, meaning others can connect to me
tcp        0      0 192.168.0.21:22         192.168.0.42:58697      ESTABLISHED 2536/sshd: root [pr 
# Note: ESTABLISHED indicates a connection has been established and data exchange can occur.
tcp        0     36 192.168.0.21:22         192.168.0.42:58698      ESTABLISHED 2537/sshd: root [pr 
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      909/sshd       

# Note: 0.0.0.0:22 indicates listening on port 22 on all IPs of the local machine (anyone can access through any IP). If it is set to listen on 192.168.0.135/24, then others can only access me through address 135.
# Note: listen status indicates the service is up and listening, meaning others can connect to me.
# Note: establish indicates a client has connected to me (the connection has been established).
# Note: 0.0.0.0:* indicates allowing any IP, any port client to connect (the * represents any port client).
# Note: 0.0.0.0:22 indicates all IPs on the local machine (on the local machine).
# Note: 0.0.0.0:* indicates allowing any IP, any port client to connect (any port client).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Note: The local loopback address represents the local machine, testing if the network card is okay 	127.0.0.1/8 local loopback address
# Note: Actual network card address	192.168.0.21/24
# Note: Others cannot access through 127.0.0.1 because 127.0.0.1 represents local; every machine has a 127.0.0.1 local loopback address, and accessing through 127.0.0.1 only accesses itself.

4. lsof -i:22				# Note: Check if there is a listening state; establish indicates a connection has been established.
# Note: Knowing the port allows checking the port.
# Note: lsof --> list open file (full name)
[root@cPen_web ~]# lsof -i:22
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
sshd     908 root    4u  IPv4  27707      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)		# Note: listen status
sshd     908 root    6u  IPv6  27721      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)		# Note: ESTABLISHED connection
sshd    1419 root    5u  IPv4  29943      0t0  TCP cPen_web:ssh->10.112.68.22:49959 (ESTABLISHED)
sshd    1421 root    5u  IPv4  29943      0t0  TCP cPen_web:ssh->10.112.68.22:49959 (ESTABLISHED)
=============================================================================================
Example: Add an IP address
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# ip a add 192.168.0.144/24	# Note: Add an IP address
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# ip add								# Note: It's best to keep it in the same subnet
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo							# Note: dev ens3 device ens33
    inet 192.168.0.21/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute ens33
    inet 192.168.0.144/24 scope global secondary ens33
=============================================================================================
Example: Check which package the command belongs to
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# which netstat				# Note: Find the absolute path of the command
/usr/bin/netstat
[root@cPen_web lianxi]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/netstat	# Note: Check which package this absolute path executable file belongs to
net-tools-2.0-0.51.20160912git.el8.x86_64

4. Key Login#

[root@cPen_web ~]# ssh-keygen					# Note: Create a key pair

Encryption

  1. Symmetric Encryption

    ​ Encryption and decryption use the same key.

    ​ How to securely store this password, this key is shared between the machines that need encryption.

    ​ It is difficult to ensure that this key is not leaked.

  2. Asymmetric Encryption # Note: The keys for encryption and decryption are different.

    ​ Generate a pair of public and private keys, keep the private key safe, and the public key can be given to others.

    ​ The public and private keys exist as a pair; one is used for encryption, and the other for decryption. Which is the private key and which is the public key depends on the user's management.

Note:

​ Use the public key for encryption and the private key for decryption, mainly for data encryption.

​ Use the private key to encrypt and the public key to decrypt, mainly for authentication.

# Note: Encryption is divided into 2 methods: 1. Symmetric encryption; 2. Asymmetric encryption
# Note: Symmetric encryption: Machine A sends something to Machine B, both A and B know a password called aa; Machine A encrypts date using aa, and Machine B uses aa to decrypt. Both machines know the same key, and the condition is that both A and B know what the key is and it is the same.
# Note: Problem: Cannot ensure the key is not known by others.

# Note: Asymmetric encryption: Machine A and Machine B perform data encryption transmission (communication). Machine A generates a public and private key pair locally, keeps both keys on Machine A, and sends the public key to Machine B (it can also send the public key to Machine C; the public key can be given to anyone). However, only Machine A knows the private key. Machine B uses the public key given by Machine A to encrypt, and Machine A receives it and decrypts it using the private key.
The only key that can decrypt is the private key, which only Machine A has, so only Machine A can decrypt.

# Note: For data information encryption, use the public key for encryption and the private key for decryption; only Machine A can decrypt.
# Note: Asymmetric encryption is used for data encryption when using the public key for encryption and the private key for decryption.

5. SSH Configuration#

SSH Configuration

Directory: /etc/ssh # Note: All SSH configuration files are stored here

[root@cPen_web ~]# cd /etc/ssh/  
[root@cPen_web ssh]# ls
moduli      sshd_config         ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub  ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub  ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
ssh_config  ssh_host_ecdsa_key  ssh_host_ed25519_key    ssh_host_rsa_key
# Note: sshd_config is the client configuration file
# Note: ssh_config is the server configuration file
# Note: ssh_host_ecdsa_key and ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub are a pair of public and private keys
# Note: ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub is the public key, and ssh_host_ecdsa_key is the private key
# Note: When the ssh service starts, it automatically creates a pair of public and private keys

Example: The created public and private keys are stored in the /root/.ssh/ directory by default
[root@cPen_web ~]# cd .ssh
[root@cPen_web .ssh]# ls
id_rsa  id_rsa.pub  known_hosts
# Note: id_rsa		private key
# Note: id_rsa.pub	public key

6. Implement Public Key Authentication (Passwordless Login)#

# Note: On machine A (after generating the public key)
[root@cPen_web ~]# cd .ssh
[root@cPen_web .ssh]# ls
id_rsa  id_rsa.pub  known_hosts
[root@cPen_web .ssh]# cat id_rsa.pub 
ssh-rsa

# Note: On machine B
[root@cPen_web ~]# mkdir .ssh					# Note: Create .ssh folder if it doesn't exist
[root@cPen_web ~]# cd .ssh/
[root@cPen_web .ssh]# ls
known_hosts
[root@cPen_web .ssh]# vim authorized_keys		# Note: Create the authorized_keys file
ssh-rsa											# Note: Paste the public key from machine A

[root@cPen_web .ssh]# chmod 600 authorized_keys 	
# Note: Set its permissions to 600, preventing others or other groups from having any permissions
# Note: On machine A
[root@cPen_web .ssh]# ssh root@10.122.148.108		# Note: Use the client to log in as root user
………………………
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

[root@cPen_web ~]# 									# Note: No password is required, indicating successful passwordless login

Implementing public key authentication for passwordless login

A --> B Machine A wants to log into Machine B

  1. Generate a public key pair on Machine A (if there is already a public key pair, there is no need to regenerate it), which will be stored in the .ssh/ directory under the current user's home directory by default.

Generate an id_rsa (private key) and id_rsa.pub (public key).

Note: If it already exists, there is no need to regenerate the public key pair, as it will overwrite. It is not significant to change the default path, as it will look for it in the default path.#

[root@cPen_web ~]# ssh-keygen # Note: Generate, press enter continuously to select defaults.

  1. On Machine B, copy and paste the public key from Machine A into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the target user.

If this file does not exist, create it, and ensure that its permissions are set to 600.

  1. Check if public key authentication is successful.

​ Execute ssh root@B machine's IP on Machine A.

​ If you can log into Machine B without entering a password, it indicates that passwordless login is successful.

​ The public key is placed under which user on Machine B, and you log in through that user.

​ To log in as which user, check under which user the public key is placed on Machine B.

[root@cPen_web ~]# useradd wy
[root@cPen_web ~]# su - wy					# Note: su switch does not go through ssh service
[wy@cPen_web ~]$ 

# Note: The su switch does not go through ssh
# Note: ssh is remote login
su and su -		su switch does not change the bash environment (still the original user's bash environment)
				 su - switches to wy's bash environment

Public Key Authentication Troubleshooting

  1. Ensure the public key is correct.

  2. Ensure the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file has permissions set to 600.

  3. Ensure the home directory and the .ssh directory have permissions set to 755 or lower, meaning the group and others do not have 7 permissions.
