Codenomicon SSH2 Test Tool Data Sheet
- Test tool: Codenomicon SSH2 Test Tool
- Direction: Server
Secure Shell (SSH) is an application protocol intended for secure communications. Since the inception of the protocol, it has evolved from its origins as a secure, encrypted replacement for interactive terminal protocols such as Telnet into a general-purpose encrypted network protocol used for remote management, port forwarding, and VPN access. This test tool implements tests for version 2 of the SSH protocol. A separate SSH1 test tool is available for testing version 1.5.
