SSH Configuration - Looking for a thorough "how to"
by pizzelle from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4WTHP)
Hello all,
I'm sort of knowledgeable about linux, but this one stumps me. The root issue is I have recently installed Kali on the Raspberry Pi ( I have no other independent platforms that are wireless), and even though the distro site says "Just ssh into the target" like it's the easiest thing in the world, I have found that I cannot ssh into the device from a remote host.
I can ssh to localhost, and the ssh service is running. ifconfig shows available connections and IP addresses for wireless and eth0. However, if I run a utility like PuTTy from an external machine, it fails to connect as if the device didn't exist. No error, just a simple timeout. Ping from external host can't find the device either.
Is there a checklist of how to configure ssh so that I can access the device? I can't tell if the fault is in the ssh setup or if it's a Kali security feature that blocks incoming connections.
Thanks!
