name: Disable SSH Empty Password
author: pussycat0x

description: |
Allowing empty passwords in SSH poses a severe security risk, enabling unauthorized access, brute-force attacks, and potential system compromise. It should always be disabled to prevent unauthorized logins.
remediation: |
Set PermitEmptyPasswords no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to disable empty password logins and restart the SSH service.
