09.11.2025 –, Workshop 3
I would like to start by talking about the things everybody assumes you already know about SSH. This is aimed at giving you the essentials of using SSH, with the focus on using it for work. The workshop covers topics like pub/privkey handling, key-based (passwordless) authentication and keeping your keys secure. The goal for this first part is to hopefully give you a foundational understanding of how to start working (and what not to do) with SSH and SSH keys.
Once we get done with the basics, we can start talking about useful things you can do with ssh beyond the basics. Covering topics like port forwarding, proxy jump, SSH certificates, control channel reuse, properly using ssh_config etc
The goal is for you to walk out of this workshop with a good understanding of how to use SSH efficiently to help you to focus on the thing you're actually working on.
A notebook or similar device, preferably with a flavor of Linux or Mac OS on it due to easier built-in ssh tooling, though a recent Windows with Openssh should work as well.
Anything with IP networking, basically. Plus automation and some software development.
