About:
SSH-MITM is an advanced SSH server designed for security audits and malware analysis. It acts as a transparent proxy, allowing security professionals to intercept and inspect SSH traffic in real-time. The tool helps identify vulnerabilities in SSH client configurations and analyze malicious payloads transmitted over encrypted channels.
Key Features:
  • Transparent traffic interception and logging
  • Support for SFTP and SCP protocol analysis
  • Agent forwarding emulation for credential capture
  • Real-time session monitoring and inspection
Use Cases:
  • Security auditing of SSH client implementations
  • Malware analysis of SSH-based threats
  • Penetration testing and red team operations
  • Debugging SSH authentication issues
Alternatives:
  • sshd – Standard SSH daemon lacks built-in interception capabilities for security testing
  • mitmproxy – General-purpose proxy, not specialized for SSH protocol analysis
