5/10/2019 0 Comments How To Install Dropbear On AndroidI would like to install DropBear SSH on my 64 bit Android 5.1 device, but it seems that all the installation tutorials and how-tos have disappeared or contain links to broken files/downloads. This is Dropbear, a smallish SSH 2 server and client. INSTALL has compilation instructions. MULTI has instructions on making a multi-purpose binary (ie a single binary which performs multiple tasks, to save disk space) SMALL has some tips on creating small binaries. ![]() Dropbear is a small and lightweight SSH server and client that can replace OpenSSH on any POSIX platform such as GNU / Linux, * BSD, Cygwin Dropbear is free software since it is released under MIT-style licenses. Features: • A small memory footprint suitable for memory-constrained environments. • Dropbear server implements X11 forwarding, and authentication-agent forwarding for clients • Compatible with OpenSSH ~/.ssh/authorized_keys public key authentication • The server, client, keygen, and key converter can be compiled into a single binary • Multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts in a single command. Dbclient user1@hop1,user2@hop2,destination 1. Install Fedora $ sudo dnf -y install dropbear CentOS Install repo. $ sudo yum -y install epel-release Install Dropbear. $ yum -y install dropbear Alpine $ sudo apk add dropbear Debian/Ubuntu/Devuan $ sudo apt-get -y install dropbear Android Before installing Dropbear on Android you must install Termux, see the video: Install Dropbear. $ apt install dropbear 2. Stop OpenSSH service Before starting the Dropbear service be sure to stop the sshd service. Systemd based distro: Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu $ sudo bash -c 'systemctl stop sshd && systemctl disable sshd' OpenRC based distro: Alpine $ sudo bash -c 'rc-service sshd stop && rc-update del sshd' sysvinit based distro: Devuan $ sudo bash -c 'service sshd stop && update-rc.d sshd disable' Android For Android it is not necessary to stop the SSH service because it is not installed by default. Start Dropbear service systemd based distro: Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu $ sudo systemctl start dropbear OpenRC based distro: Alpine $ sudo rc-service dropbear start sysvinit based distro: Devuan $ sudo service dropbear start Android We start Dropbear in foreground, by default Dropbear will be listening in port 8022 $ dropbear -F 4. Start the service with the OS systemd based distro: Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu $ sudo systemctl enable dropbear OpenRC based distro: Alpine $ sudo rc-update add dropbear sysvinit based distro: Devuan $ sudo update-rc.d sshd enable Android It is not advisable to have an SSH server running on Android permanently for security and performance reasons however you can do it by installing 5. Connect to Dropbear server To connect to the Dropbear server you can use the ssh client (OpenSSH) or the dbclient tool. The dbclient tool is part of the Dropbear package. For Android, the recommended way to connect is using public and private keys since you do not have the password for the connecting user (at least in standard mode), for more details see the following video:. For Android you must add the -p 8022 option to the commands: ssh-copy-id, ssh, dbclient. Using user and password $ ssh [email protected] $ dbclient [email protected] Using public and private keys With ssh To connect to the dropbear server using the ssh client you must use the public and private keys generated by ssh-keygen. Generate public and private keys $ ssh-keygen -t ecdsa Generating public/private ecdsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/sedlav/.ssh/id_ecdsa): Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/sedlav/.ssh/id_ecdsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/sedlav/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: SHA256:m+Cg8yFD07sWN05oFHI6SXJsSXJe2nGYUtMalQFn2og [email protected] The key's randomart image is: +---[ECDSA 256]---+|.ooo***o||.+O=*Xo|| =E*++.|| +.o|| ooo. O|| =.o=.o|| =.o.||.o| +----[SHA256]-----+ 2. Copy the public key to the server $ ssh-copy-id -i.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub sedlav@dropbearserver /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: '.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub' /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys sedlav@dropbearserver's password: Number of key(s) added: 1 Now try logging into the machine, with: 'ssh 'sedlav@dropbearserver' and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added. Connect $ ssh sedlav@dropbearserver With dbclient To connect to the dropbear server using dbclient you must use public and private keys generated by dropbearkey $ dropbearkey -t ecdsa -f.ssh/id_dropbear_ecdsa| grep '^ecdsa' >.ssh/id_dropbear_ecdsa.pub Generating key, this may take a while. Copy the public key to the server $ cat.ssh/id_dropbear_ecdsa.pub| dbclient sedlav@dropbearserver 'cat - >>.ssh/authorized_keys' sedlav@dropbearserver's password: 3.
