As the recent Terrapin vulnerability casts a shadow over SSH security, Atsign steps forward with a definitive solution: SSH No Ports. SSH No Ports eliminates the possibility of the Terrapin man-in-the-middle attack as well as any port-based exploits, safeguarding critical server access for businesses worldwide.
Terrapin exploits a previously unknown weakness in OpenSSH, the ubiquitous secure shell protocol. By manipulating connection requests, malicious actors can gain unauthorized server access, even behind traditional firewall defenses. This alarming vulnerability puts an estimated 11 million servers and countless organizations at risk, potentially exposing sensitive data and disrupting operations.

Enter Atsign’s SSH No Ports: Security Redefined
SSH No Ports undermines the very foundation of Terrapin’s attack vector by eliminating the potential for any interference or disruption of the transmission during the initial handshake connection. SSH No Ports achieves this by leveraging cryptography and a unique handshake process to establish secure connections rendering Terrapin ineffective.
“The Terrapin attack exposes the critical need for more proactive security measures,” declared Colin Constable, CTO of Atsign. “Atsign is committed to staying ahead of evolving threats and providing our customers with the most advanced security solutions available based on Networking 2.0 principles. SSH No Ports empowers organizations to confidently manage server access without the vulnerabilities inherent in traditional methods.”
