Description

Hi,

I've found that the technique doesn't support ed25519 keys.
It generates a 0 byte file and does not report an error

Could you please check why it does not report errors on such issues?
And later also support this keytype?

  • Target version set to 2.11.23

Reproduced, I see:

# authorized_keys file contains one line per key, in the following format:
# (optional-options\s)(<keytype>)\s(the_key=)(\soptional-comment)
# where
#   - keytype is one of ssh-rsa or ssh-dss
#   - key value ends with "=" 
#   - no spaces are allowed in options, except in double-quoted strings
#

in the technique. We are missing some key types (ecdsa, ed25519), and a correct "unknown type" reporting.

Bug still exists in 3.2.5 "SSH keys distribution" v3.0 technique.
The validation routine filters keys against "ssh-rsa"|"ssh-dss", so each new key types are silently filtered out.

it would appear that the bugfix now reads the former comment field as the key type.

[2018-04-12 22:07:20+0800] N: RAHHHHHH S: [audit_noncompliant] R: RAAAAHH [RULE NAME] D: RAAAHHHHHH [Directivename] T: sshKeyDistribution/3.0 C: [SSH key] V: [ssh key for super secret team access - restricted] Wrong SSH key format "ssh key for super secret team access - restricted" for user USERNAME

GOD BLESS AUDIT MODE, although I suppose this would no longer have fried everything to 0 bytes now, right?
