21. How to protect himself ?

• Do not use degraded modes
  • always know the key of its interlocutor as a preliminary
  • systematically check the key of the other party
    • immediately stop the connection in the event of anomaly
• Caution:
  • numerous recommendations aren't serious !!!
    • except for slashdot readers, a quotation of Dug Song: argh! it's amazing how silly some people are. Slashdot readers are especially numb-skulled, if their insistence that SSH2 would prevent such attacks is any indication. i'll add compression support when i get a free second.
