From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can't believe its already been almost thirty years since SSH was created! Time to further harden your servers and clients by removing (now) insecure KEX algos.

Please note that if you do this then some older devices will stop working. (cough Cisco cough)

I was worried I would have to ask for a tl;dr for dummies like I'm 5, but everything is categorized nicely under questions one may have on the topic. It's been a while since I've been able to get meaningful information from a website without a huge commitment.

Looks like this addressed in openssh 9.6.

So only OpenSSH?
