All, Please pardon my naivete. I was looking at the diagram on the URL listed below and contemplating how host fingerprinting prevents MITM attacks. http://www.vandyke.com/solutions/ssh_overview/ssh_overview_threats.html So my question is this... Given the illustration in the URL above, what prevents Eve from *first* contacting Alice to obtain a fingerprint which then gets passed to Bob on the first connection attempt?
