SSH: Couldn't agree a key algorithm (available: curve25519-sha256@libssh.org)
-
update putty
-
-
FYI- We disabled some older, weaker, ssh key exchange algorithms. It won't be uncommon to find some older programs that use ssh directly or via things like libssh, that will need to be updated.
-
yeah the issue I am having is with securecrt, you would think they would enabled chacha20 but not yet.. they just recently added ed25519..
But the dev version of putty has had both for quite some time.
-
Works for me 2!
Thanks…
-
FYI- I added details about the SSH daemon changes here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/2.3.2_New_Features_and_Changes#SSH_Daemon
-
Same problem here, the latest version of WS_FTP doesn't supports pfSense SSH anymore. I asked support to IPSwitch (the makers of WS_FTP).
-
I just bumped into this earlier today too. My putty was from 2013 and an update fixed it no problem. Then I come here and someone else has the same issue.
-
It really is sad the old stuff some of these major applications are using. The one that really ticks me off is freaking cisco!! Even to their security devices they do not support the current best practice for kex and ciphers..
I think players like pfsense and even stuff like filezilla not connecting to antiquated stuff will hope to push the major players to get with the times.
-
I hope so. I nudged Vandyke about getting the stronger kex/mac/ciphers we have in their list. It connects fine if you have a current version of SecureCRT but there is room for improvement. It is still missing chacha20-poly1305, AES256-GCM, and curve25519-sha256
-
Yeah I did the same thing with vandyke, they added ed25519 I believe in 8.01 or 02 but yeah still missing for sure chacha20
Maybe .03 is out?? Off to check.. You would think such a company who's bread and butter is ssh client and server even would be up to speed..
-
I need to test it some more but I also had an issue with keyboard-interactive on the latest SecureCRT against pfSense 2.3.2 that I need to e-mail them about. Key auth works, and plain password (ew), but not keyboard-interactive.

FYI
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2016-August/001737.html
FreeBSD 11 is dropping support for OpenSSH DSA keys.
-
^ nice info Harvy66, I would of prob not have noticed that info I don't subscribe to that list - prob should ;) Nice to hear though.. I would assume pfsense will follow suite, maybe beat them to the punch ;)
-
We stopped generating them some time ago, and on 2.3.2 they are not used even if present.

Putty 0.67 compiled on Debian Jessie 8.4 x64, will work on all Debian based variants, ie: Ubuntu, etc.
For Windows just download from Putty's website.Will solve the issue "SSH: Couldn't agree a key algorithm (available: curve25519-sha256@libssh.org)"
http://www.legionit.net/downloads/putty_0.67-1_amd64.deb.tar.gz
Will compile FileZilla if any one needs it?
 -
When it comes to security packages such as ssh clients, please only download them from official sources, check the hashes and signatures if possible. Don't download builds from random sources.
-
Not having to compile in the first place would have been nice, however not offered on Putty's site and Git Hub is 0.63
However the Admin: jimp is right

No matter which version of putty I used it didn't work for my, strangely the same versions of putty work on my other pfsense box. I don't understand why? I tired clearing out he reg files but still no go, what DID work for me was using BITVISE ssh client. this worked without issues.
-
I have yet to see a case where updating PuTTY didn't work. Perhaps you are still running an old putty somehow (wrong shortcut/link, for example).
