A quick qns, how do i find out or see or know my host key?
I am using putty on a windows and managed to log in to my linux although it screamed for the unknow host key as usual for 1st time log-in. I know nothing will go wrong so I just accepted it.
I just installed my linux and didnt do anything to my ssh keys.
They may be default keys.
It should look like 7b:e5:6f:a7:f4:f9:81:62:5c:e3:1f:bf:8b:57:6c:5a.
I believe it should be located at /etc/ssh/ in ssh_host key files but I do not know how to view it.
