I'd just like to understand more precisely the nature of the threats that ssh opens me up to. on my Mac, or would they somehow be able to reach and control other devices on my network using my Mac as the access point?Īll this sounds pretty freaky, so I will definitely take the necessary steps to secure my network.

If yes, and if such a person found my hostname and IP, my Mac is still password-protected, so wouldn't that still provide decent security? (I admit though the password is super lame, so I'd need to beef it up).Īnd if they did manage to access my Mac via the ssh port, what would they be able to do? Would they only be limited to the files, passwords, settings, etc. rm /.ssh/idrsa The keys filenames may be different - see the FILES section of. To remove a public key which you may previously have generated on your Mac, open Terminal once again and type. Also any suggestions for products that would also allow me to. The Public Key Support section of the External Login page explains why using ssh public keys is a bad idea.

Im wondering if plugging my gaming PC into a mesh node via Ethernet or using a wifi bridge would be faster than just using the wifi adapter on my PC. Is it not a good idea because there are people out there who just scan the whole web with random hostname/IP generators looking for wide-open networks to exploit? Measured speeds at the eero router I have currently (using direct Ethernet connection) is 350 down / 250 up with 9ms latency.

Open the ssh port in the firewall on your router (not a good idea) A lot of corporate networks allow SSH out, but not all.

Other Firewalls in between your host and where you're trying to reach it from may block SSH.

Dynamically assigned addresses can remain 'fixed' for weeks, but there's no guarantee because that's how the tech works. In the terminal, we use the following command. Now, we can use SSH to connect the Raspberry Pi.

Your internal and external IPs are both subject to change in many configurations: Your internal addresses are assigned by DHCP if you basically just 'plug it in and go' and most basic home internet connections don't have static addresses either. Your Raspberry Pi will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi as it boots up.

Your Router also needs to be set up to allow the SSH protocol and to forward it to your internal device.

This is what you see if you visit from the home Mac. The above output shows that you are not connected to any network. You can check WiFi network connection status from command line using the following command.

You need to connect to the 'external' address which is shared by your internal devices. Step 4: Check the connection status WiFi network from command line.

This address is only locally relevant: If each house on your street has an internet connection, each may have their 192.168.1.12 device.

Most home networks run a NAT config so your mac has an internal IP address like 192.168.1.12.
