SSH into Remote Devices on Chrome with the Secure Shell Extension [Tutorial]

How to Remotely Control Devices through SSH in Google Chrome

When direct access to your devices isn't a possibility, having an alternative is always key. Today, we'll show you how to securely connect to a remote device through the Chrome browser using the Secure Shell extension on this episode of Cyber Weapons Lab.

While there are actually different versions of the Chrome Secure Shell — the browser extension and Chrome app — we'll be using the extension version since any computer running Chrome can use it. The app can also be installed on any computer, but it's recommended for Chrome OS users only.

Seems like a good way to bypass certain host restrictions...say a host that doesn't allow for terminal access on me could use Chrome to download this extension granted they have the rights to do so.

I've been trying to figure out how to use this extension for weeks, thank you so much

@07:37 You can prevent being stopped by your ssh client to confirm the fingerprint of the remote ssh server's host key, in case this key hasn't yet been written to your ssh client's known_hosts file, if you provide the following two options when initiating your ssh session. This also avoids that your ssh client appends the remote host's host key to its known_hosts file, once its fingerprint got "confirmed".
But beware, that being asked by your client to verify an unknown host key's fingerprint is a security measure to prevent a MitM attack, which you simply suppress by these two additional options.
e.g.
mybox $> ssh -o stricthostkeychecking=no -o userknownhostsfile=/dev/null -l rlogin rhost

If this is too much typing (but we have a shell history anyway) you can add a new host entry in your ssh client's config file in ~/.ssh/config
Therein you would probably prefer the CamelCase of ssh options like listed in man ssh_config for better readability.
But as you can see from my example line above, the case of the options doesn't matter.

You know what I love about this channel? The guy(s) is so respected, that there are no scammers promoting fake hackers in the comments.

ssh-keygen -R (device ip address) will reset the ssh key save you going into a nano file

Thank you Corey & your team. The cyber security information you teach is invaluable beyond words. Cheers. Best wishes in 2019 & beyond.

Can you please make videos on honey pots

SSH should now be able to run directly from Windows 10 PowerShell on the latest Windows update without doing anything before hand

[threepoint]

Another great video... Great videos are pretty common in this channel...!

[Deadgray]

Nice extension by itself. But check with tcpdump if chrome will send your login data to Big Brother :-)

[CyberAstra]

Another unique and bang-ON content. Keep it up!

[netbin]

lol this Chrome has lot of useful stuff, tell me Null Byte can you make a video how to compile and add components into chrome or firefox itself?

[Droggelbecherbot]

Since Microsoft released the optional openssh extension for powershell, PuTTY is dead to me. Finally, freedom from that GUI!

[gorgestboi]

damn I didn’t realise what people meant about you not blinking, but paying attention now... BLINK GOD DAMN IT

[misheladnan]

Amazing! I didnt realize i could get more information from this channel thank you so much kody love from india🤩😍

[Mohith]

Please make a video on which browser to use chrome Vs Firefox for hackers. And provide details of the extensions you suggest and use as a hacker. I love this channel.

I always have a problem with this application and Chrome VNC both giving the same error . Both say I dont have the NaCl plugin or something along those lines. I went into chrome://flags and I enabled everything related to this supposed "experimental feature" and still no good. Also ARC Welder never works, reallly pisses me off
I wanted to mention another chrome app for SSH that always works and also has a suite of other tools that come with it. The name is SSHGate, so you can establish local and remote SSH connections, and my favorite part you can use X11 forwarding right from the browser! So I can pop open Virtualbox from a remote computer straight from the chrome browser as if I was using an X environment. It also comes with Video Editor, Video Convert, Photo Editor, Audio Editor, DOC editor, and PDF editor all in the sidebar. Another words its very useful.
