SSH cheat sheet
Create more secure ssh keys Create a key using elliptic curve cryptography (more secure): ssh-keygen -a 100 -t ed25519 generate RSA key of length 4096 to file my_key ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your@e-mail.com" -f my_key Generate md5 fingerprint of the key (works in newer ubuntu, 16): ssh-keygen -lf ./my_key -E md5 see also: Upgrade Your SSH Key to Ed25519 How to prevent SSH from scanning all the keys in ....
