# sshmitm(8)

SSH monkey-in-the-middle

## NAME

sshmitm - SSH monkey-in-the-middle

## SYNOPSIS

```

```

**sshmitm** \[**-d**\] \[**-I**\] \[**-p** *port*\] host \[*port*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**sshmitm** proxies and sniffs SSH traffic redirected by [dnsspoof(8)](/dnsspoof/8.md), capturing SSH password logins, and optionally hijacking interactive sessions. Only SSH protocol version 1 is (or ever will be) supported - this program is far too evil already.

- **-I**

  Monitor / hijack an interactive session.

- **-p** *port*

  Specify the local port to listen on.

- *host*

  Specify the remote host to relay connections to.

- *port*
