info:
name: SSH Key-Based Authentication - Disabled
author: pussycat0x
severity: low
description: |
SSH key-based authentication is disabled, allowing password-based logins, which increases the risk of brute-force attacks and unauthorized access.
remediation: |
Enable SSH key-based authentication by adding the public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and disabling password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (PasswordAuthentication no).
