SSH Public Key Login Scanner
Description
This module will test ssh logins on a range of machines using a defined private key file, and report successful logins. If you have loaded a database plugin and connected to a database this module will record successful logins and hosts so you can track your access. Key files may be a single private key, or several private keys in a single directory. Only a single passphrase is supported however, so it must either be shared between subject keys or only belong to a single one.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
