Every installation of Kali Linux generates its own unique SSH key pair during installation. Therefore, SSH keys are not the same across all downloads of Kali VMs. This uniqueness is crucial for security because it ensures that each instance has its own set of keys, reducing the risk of unauthorized access if keys were to be shared or predictable.

Hey, Dose it work for kali Linux 2020.4?

[letsgobrandon]

sudo !!

That command will prepend sudo to your last command if you forgot to add it. Saves a little time in backspacing the crap out of things.

After getting new keys, they always are the same md5sum as the old ones.

why does mine say this after i get the new keys

rescue-ssh.target is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.
ssh.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.
ssh.socket is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it

after i get the new keys and they are different....is this ok though?
