The website for ssh-audit been down for at least the past few days now, maybe longer.
I'm building a new Linux server and I like to use the #ssh hardening guides on this site and the ssh-audit app to audit ssh server and client protocol and algorithm hardening.
A) Does anyone know why this website is down? I hope it's not suffering from a DDoS attack (a persistent hack or AI crawler bots).
B) If this site stays gone permanently does anyone have alternative ssh hardening guides they use and would share/recommend?
I was able to access the hardening guides / recipe for hardening my new server from the #internetarchive wayback machine, but the most recent snapshot from January 2026 doesn't have guides for some newer (public) distros including Debian 13.
Happy #SuperbOwl for those who celebrate.
