Comment on The OpenSSH Bug That Wasn'tparent

Comments

Nope, because my ssh key is on my phone and my tablet, with an ssh client, and I pretty much always have my phone with me.

I do have a USB thumb drive with a bootable standalone system which I could use on a random mmachine --- but even if that solves the problem of exposing my password or ssh keys to a system which has malware on it, I pretty much assume that random machines, especially those at airport lounges or internet cafes, probably have keyboard bugs installed, so I wouldn't really trust my bootable thumb drive on those machines anyway.

I might use the thumb drive on a friend's machine which I really trusted, but most of the time I'd much rather use a trusted machine that I own, such as either my tablet or my laptop, or in the extreme cases, my phone.
