Hello,

I am back again, and auditing an internally accessible ssh server for
the challenge-response buffer overflow.  I'll keep it brief:

OS: RedHat Linux (6.2)
SSH Version:  SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1

I have already done the following:

Downloaded and extracted openssh-3.2.2p1.tar.gz
Patched the client with ssh.diff (patch < ssh.diff)
Compiled patched client ( ./configure && make ssh)
Run the "patched" ssh (./ssh x.x.x.x)

I am receiving the following output
./scanssh 172.16.51.23
[*] remote host supports ssh2
[*] server_user: root:skey
[*] keyboard-interactive method available
[x] bsdauth (skey) not available
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

as you can see, bsdauth (skey) isn't supported by this ssh. I think you're
trying to run Gobbles exploit sshutup-theo (tnx to them ;) against system 
which hasn't got SKEY feature available. BTW: OpenBSD is default exploitable
only, cause it has got SKEY mechanism available in default SSH. Some people
did Linsux version of this exploit, but I haven't got it, so I don't test it.
