Just read the manual, nice to see they are not patching ssh for this.

Yes: https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/03e3de416...

Tiny patch to OpenSSH, but it'll get onto millions of boxes eventually.

It will certainly limit possibilities of 0day ssh exploitation.

Strange characterization given OpenSSH is everywhere so it isn't a dead-end.

It's another layer of security. There have been exploits of OpenSSH in past so this may be prudent.

Has that been done for OpenSSH?

dllthomas Sep 17, 2016 View on HN

Still establishes that SSH was being used, which seems to be userbinator's concern.

OpenSSH 9.8/9.8p1 (2024-07-01) seems to have fixed this.
