This search reveals SSH host keys from the windows registry. The files contain information about where the user connects, including hostnames and port numbers, and shows sensitive information such as the SSH host key in use by that client. Interesting to note, yet again, that this search string has been around since at least 2004 and it’s still finding issues. It just goes to show how much most don’t know about the threats of the internet.

filetype:reg reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER SSHHOSTKEYS

I’ve linked the query above for instant gratification, but remember this is just one of many ways to use google to search. I didn’t form these queries I merely searched the web for ‘answers’, and used queries from googles advanced search operators page.

As always. these posts are educational and should not be used for pwning or any such unethical ’stuff’.
