Ssh Server Generate Host Keys
So here's is my guide to change the already generated ssh keys that everyone has installed on kali:
After all we are hot on security right???? We dont want the same keys as the next man do we (MITM).....
Move the default Kali ssh keys to a new folder:
cd /etc/ssh/
mkdir default_kali_keys
mv ssh_host_* default_kali_keys/
This will move your default keys to the new folder...
Regenerate the keys:
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
Creating SSH2 RSA key; this may take some time ...
Creating SSH2 DSA key; this may take some time ...
Creating SSH2 ECDSA key; this may take some time ...
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `ssh' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (2 3 4 5) of script `ssh' overrides LSB defaults (empty).
Verify ssh key hashes are different:
md5sum ssh_host_*
Compare new key hashes to the hashes below)
cd default_kali_keys/
md5sum *
b9419ea3a8fff086c258740e89ca86b8 ssh_host_dsa_key
f9a5b57d7004e3740d07c5b037d15730 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
58e49e0d7b24249c38db0c9cf595751b ssh_host_ecdsa_key
597c83fabf3c1e4f2c7af74af05ac671 ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
cc0d92036bb86797bed354338faa7223 ssh_host_rsa_key
cc9ddc90b891b5251ed4ea8341495e84 ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
Job done !!!! I would also change the default port from 22 to another in the ssh_config
Here is my win 7 phone running ssh connected to Kali and running attaxsuite:

The secure shell (ssh) protocol is used for remote system access, remote file transfer in Unix. Now the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update comes with the native OpenSSH feature, which have both client and server for installation on your tablet or computer. An OpenSSH implementation is the value of the OS increases, and here are the how-to tips to enable and setup OpenSSH Server.
Apr 27, 2018 SSH, or secure shell, is an encrypted protocol used to administer and communicate with servers. When working with an Ubuntu server, chances are you will spend most of your time in a terminal session connected to your server through SSH. In this guide, we’ll focus on setting up SSH keys for a vanilla Ubuntu 18.04 installation. Dec 17, 2017 cd c:windowssystem32Openssh. Execute another command to generate security keys for the sshd server: ssh-keygen -A. It will result ssh-keygen: generating new host keys: ed25519. The ided25519.pub file is your public key. Then run ssh-keygen and follow the prompt to generate your private key files and move the authorizedkeys in.ssh on.

The Openssh folder is located in c:windowssystem32 of File Explorer. The server uses the port 22, so ensure the firewall allows the traffic on port 22. The Openssh feature is still at a BETA stage, and have some stability issues.
How to Enable OpenSSH Server and setup OpenSSH in Windows 10
* Make sure your account is an Administrator.
* Tap or click on the Windows button at left-bottom corner of your desktop.
* Open the Settings app from Start menu.
* Click on Apps category, and select the Apps & features tab.
* Go to its right side pane, click Manage optional features link.
* Click the “Add a feature” button.
* Locate the “OpenSSH Server” item and select it, then click Install button to get it.
* Once the OpenSSH software has been applied, restart Windows 10 to take effects.
For Password-based authentication
* Press Win + R from your keyboard, type services.msc and press Enter to open the Services Manager.
* Double-click the sshd entry, go to the “Log On” tab, it lists which user account used by sshd server. If this account doesn’t have password, go to set up a password.
For Key-based authentication
* Open an elevated command prompt, type the command below and press Enter to navigate to Openssh directory:
cd c:windowssystem32Openssh
* Execute another command to generate security keys for the sshd server:
ssh-keygen -A
It will result ssh-keygen: generating new host keys: ed25519. The id_ed25519.pub file is your public key.
* Then run ssh-keygen and follow the prompt to generate your private key files and move the authorized_keys in ~.ssh on your host.
* Finally open Services Manager window, and click Start with sshd service.
Ssh Generate Private Key
The password authentication method works well. However, I can’t make SSH run in Windows 10, because it doesn’t accept my RSA key. I notice that only ed25519 keys are supported at present. So I go to use the PuTTY tool.
