SSH

alr so basically we don't like password authentication. so we will use ssh keypairs. (use your own email)

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "table@liltable.dev"

now we shall copy over our newly generated key to the remote mainframe we want to enter like a cool hackerman hacker!!11!!1!

ssh-copy-id table@hackerman.local

Enabling Key-based SSH on Windows

Alright, so Windows doesn't normally let you do this by default. Which means we must explicitly enable it.

This requires Powershell stuff.

Set-Service -Name ssh-agent -StartupType Automatic
Start-Service ssh-agent

And then we tell the SSH agent where our super secret SSH keys are stored. And see if it can see them.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
ssh-add -l
