How to get all fingerprints for .ssh/authorized_keys(2) file

Solution 1:

Here's another hack using plain bash without temporary files:

while read l; do
  [[ -n $l && ${l###} = $l ]] && ssh-keygen -l -f /dev/stdin <<<$l;
done < .ssh/authorized_keys

You can easily make it a function in your .bashrc:

function fingerprints() {
  local file="${1:-$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys}"
  while read l; do
    [[ -n $l && ${l###} = $l ]] && ssh-keygen -l -f /dev/stdin <<<$l
  done < "${file}"
}

and call it with:

$ fingerprints .ssh/authorized_keys

Solution 2:

Here's a portable way to show all key fingerprints for a given file, tested on Mac and Linux:

#!/bin/bash

fingerprint_keys()
{
    if (( $# != 1 )); then
        echo "Usage: ${FUNCNAME} <authorized keys file>" >&2
        return 1
    fi

    local file="$1"
    if [ ! -r "$file" ]; then
        echo "${FUNCNAME}: File '${file}' does not exist or isn't readable." >&2
        return 1
    fi

    # Must be declared /before/ assignment, because of bash weirdness, in
    # order to get exit code in $?.
    local TMPFILE

    TEMPFILE=$(mktemp -q -t "$0.XXXXXXXXXX")
    if (( $? != 0 )); then
        echo "${FUNCNAME}: Can't create temporary file." >&2
        return 1
    fi

    while read line; do
        # Make sure lone isn't a comment or blank.
        if [[ -n "$line" ]] && [ "${line###}" == "$line" ]; then
            # Insert key into temporary file (ignoring noclobber).
            echo "$line" >| "$TEMPFILE"

            # Fingerprint time.
            ssh-keygen -l -f "$TEMPFILE"

            # OVerwrite the file ASAP (ignoring noclobber) to not leave keys
            # sitting in temp files.
            >| "$TEMPFILE"
        fi
    done < "$file"

    rm -f "$TEMPFILE"
    if (( $? != 0 )); then
        echo "${FUNCNAME}: Failed to remove temporary file." >&2
        return 1
    fi
}

Example Usage:

bash $ fingerprint_keys ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:bb:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  [email protected] (RSA)
bash $

Solution 3:

A one-liner based on the /dev/stdin trick from ℝaphink's answer and man xargs → EXAMPLES:

egrep '^[^#]' ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | xargs -n1 -I% bash -c 'ssh-keygen -l -f /dev/stdin <<<"%"'
