A brief history of SSH and remote access
- geerlingguy 13y agoI figured I'd post this on the blog in addition to Ansible for DevOps[1], since I spent a bit of time researching the history of remote administration in preparation for a chapter on security and Ansible. Especially in light of the Heartbleed incident, I think it's a good idea for all admins to at least have some understanding of the history and thought behind the systems and protocols they use every day in their jobs. Additionally, it's interesting to note that OpenSSH really gained steam after the OpenBSD project picked it up and refined it—could a similar thing be happening with OpenSSL[2]?
