4 years ago@exsesx You can run this command to see which algorithms your server supports:
ssh -vv <your user>@<your host> ls |& grep 'peer server KEXINIT proposal' -A3 | grep 'host key algorithms'
For example, in the case of GitHub:
$ ssh -vv git@github.com ls |& grep 'peer server KEXINIT proposal' -A3 | grep 'host key algorithms'
debug2: host key algorithms: ssh-ed25519,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256,ssh-rsa
If your server supports ssh-ed25519
, you could consider switching to an Ed25519 key. If it supports rsa-sha2-512
or rsa-sha2-256
, you could try adding this to your SSH config and keep on using your RSA key:
Host your-host
HostKeyAlgorithms -ssh-rsa
