假设我有一台用户密码为 12 个字母数字字符的机器(Arago dist)。当我使用密码验证通过 ssh 登录时,几天前我注意到,我只能输入 8 个密码字符或整个密码后跟任何我想要的。这两种情况的共同结果是成功登录。为什么会这样?
在这种特殊情况下,我不想基于多种原因使用公钥身份验证。
作为附加信息,在此发行版中缺少
文件/etc/shadow和/etc/security/policy.conf 。

在聊天中,原来系统使用的是传统的(非影子)密码存储和传统的 Unix 密码散列算法。在当今的安全环境中,两者都是糟糕的选择。
由于传统的密码散列算法只存储和比较密码的前 8 个字符,这就解释了原始问题中注意到的行为。
发布的 sshd 输出包括以下行:
I would assume this means at least
sshd
(or possibly the PAM Unix password storage library) on this system includes shadow password functionality, but for some reason, the system vendor has chosen not to use it.In a BusyBox based distribution, as one built with Yocto usually is, this can perhaps be fixed by enabling the appropriate options in the BusyBox config. This solution assumes that you've got the recipes and are able to build your own, adapted OS image, or at least a fitting BusyBox binary. It also needs advanced cryptographic hashing algorithms (at least SHA-256, better SHA-512) being available (from libc).
In the BusyBox configuration, set
sha512
orsha256
Additionally the contents of
/etc/passwd
and/etc/shadow
have to be adapted, e. g. using the command line tools of the enhanced BusyBox build (passwd
,mkpasswd
,chpasswd
), or setting them during the image build withEXTRA_USERS_PARAMS
:Even if you have an
/etc/shadow
file, it is still possible for each individual password in that file to use a different hashing scheme.While in the last few years the default scheme is one using many iterations of SHA-2, it wasn't that long ago that we were using the traditional DES based scheme which not only imposed restrictions on what characters could be in a password, but only the first 8 characters in a password were included when processing it. So you could input a 30 character password, but only the first 8 would be used to verify the password.
Even if you have upgraded your system since, as long as a password was set long enough ago that it used an older scheme, it will continue to use that older scheme until the user changes their password. It is not possible to convert a password hash to a new scheme without knowing the password. This is another good reason to change your own password every now and again, to take advantage of any newer password hashing scheme available.
An article about the password hashing schemes in Linux and other Unixes is available here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt_(C)
If you want to see which scheme each of your users' passwords is using, look at your
/etc/shadow
and look in the password field.A modern SHA-2 based password hash starts with a "$5" or "$6" and is longer.
旧的基于 DES 的密码哈希不以美元符号开头,而且更短。
在 Linux 中也可以使用基于 MD5 的散列,它以“$1”开头,长度介于两者之间。
Crypt 文章中列出的其他方案通常不用于 Linux 发行版。
