Tutorial | API docs | Github | Crate

Features

• SSH protocol 2
• Authentication methods: publickey, password, none
• Shell/exec sessions
• Remote and local tunnels
• Raw SSH channels (low-level API)
• Ciphers: chacha20-poly1305, aes128-gcm, aes256-gcm, aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr, aes128-cbc*, aes192-cbc*, aes256-cbc*, 3des-cbc**
• MACs: hmac-sha2-256-etm, hmac-sha2-512-etm, hmac-sha2-256, hmac-sha2-512, hmac-sha1-etm*, hmac-sha1*
• Public key algorithms: ssh-ed25519, rsa-sha2-256, rsa-sha2-512, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256*, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384*, ssh-rsa*
• Key exchange algorithms: curve25519-sha256, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1*, diffie-hellman-group14-sha256*, diffie-hellman-group16-sha512*, diffie-hellmann-group18-sha512*, diffie-hellman-group1-sha1**
• Crypto from Rust Crypto
• Use your own sockets, spawn your own tasks
• Uses Tokio interfaces (but does not depend on the Tokio runtime)
• Rust all the way down: no dependency on non-Rust libraries, direct or indirect

(* Algorithms marked with an asterisk are not enabled by default) (** Algorithms marked with two asterisks are only available with feature insecure-crypto)

Low-level

Makiko gives you a lot of control over the SSH connection, it is meant to be a building block for libraries and advanced applications.

Makiko and most of the cryptography crates from Rust Crypto that Makiko uses have not yet been audited by a trusted third party. Use at your own risk!
