Connecting via SSH

Enable the SSH daemon and connect to a host (server or service) using your config aliases.

1. Enable and start the sshd service

sudo systemctl enable --now sshd

2. Check the Host alias of the service

Your SSH aliases live in ~/.ssh/config. Instead of repeating the block here, see the annotated example in SSH Keys → Set nickname of ssh key.

Each Host block maps a short alias (e.g. dojo) to a real HostName (e.g. dojo.pwn.college), so you can type the alias instead of the full address.

3. Attempt to connect to the service

# Test the connection
ssh -T <Host/HostName>

# Actually connect to the service
ssh <Host/HostName>

NOTE:

  • GitHub shows a "successfully authenticated" message but doesn't provide a shell.
  • pwn.college provides a shell when there is an active challenge.
