HP-UX Secure Shell uses hashing to ensure data integrity and
provides secure tunneling features, port forwarding, and an SSH agent
to maintain private keys on the client.
HP-UX Secure Shell enables you to securely log into another
system over a network, to execute commands on a remote system, and
to move files from one system to another. HP-UX Secure Shell provides
a set of commands that replace insecure commands such as rlogin, rsh, rcp, ftp, and telnet. HP-UX
Secure Shell also protects a network from the following security hazards:
- IP Spoofing
A technique used to gain unauthorized access to computers.
An intruder sends messages to a computer with an IP address indicating
that the message is coming from a trusted host.
- Eavesdropping
Searching a system for passwords, credit card numbers,
or business secrets.
- Hijacking
A technique used to take over network communication
in such a way that the attacker can inspect and modify data transmitted
between the communicating parties.
