Software Description:
SecureCRT is a Windows terminal emulator thatsupports Secure Shell (SSH), Telnet, rlogin, serial, and TAPIprotocols. SSH provides encrypted login, data transfer, andterminal sessions and is highly customizable and easy to use.
SecureCRT protects passwords, user accounts, and data, combiningrock-solid terminal emulation with the strong encryption, broadauthentication options, and data integrity of the Secure Shell(SSH) protocol.
SecureCRT provides versatile solutions for business, networkmanagement, information security, and development tasks, fromaccessing host-based applications and administering servers tosecurely accessing behind-the-firewall network resources.
SecureCRT supports SSH1, SSH2, Telnet, Telnet/SSL, RLogin, Serial,and TAPI protocols and authentication via password, public-key,X.509 certificates, and Kerberos v5 via GSSAPI. Ciphers includeAES, Twofish, Blowfish, 3DES, and RC4. Emulations include VT100,VT102, VT220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux console- all with ANSI color.
Multibyte character sets are supported for Japanese, Korean, andChinese, as are scalable line-drawing fonts. SecureCRT has amulti-session tabbed interface with extensive session managementfeatures. Customization options include toolbars, menus, keymaps,and login scripts, as well as fonts, cursors, and colorschemes.
Named sessions and firewalls let you create session-specificconfigurations. An optional “FIPS Mode uses a FIPS 140-2 validatedcryptographic library and only allows FIPS-approved algorithms.Other features include the Activator tray utility to minimizedesktop clutter, auto logon, printing, Emacs mode, and SOCKSfirewall support.
ActiveX scripting support saves time by automating routineconfiguration tasks. Securely transfer files using SFTP, or byusing Zmodem or Xmodem from an SSH1 or SSH2 session. SecureCRT andthe SecureFX file transfer client can share global and sessionoptions and the host key database so configuring a connection onlyneeds to be done once.
Here are some key features of “SecureCRT”:
– Script recorder
– Quickly create a script to automate routines using the new scriptrecorder, which records keystrokes, including function keys, andthen generates a VB script.
– Improved auto session
– With “Use auto session” enabled, you can now select a singlesession, multiple sessions, or folders of sessions to automaticallyconnect on startup.
– Cache passwords
– SSH2 session passwords can be cached like passphrases. SecureCRTand SecureFX can share passwords while either application or theActivator utility is running.
– Improved ANSI color with color schemes
– When using ANSI color, you can now select a color scheme toreplace the standard white foreground and black background.
– Expanded logging options with custom data
– Custom log data gives you the ability to specify strings to belogged upon connect, disconnect, and on each line. Parametersubstitutions for session and date information are supported.
– Support for OpenSSH format keys
– You can now generate keys in OpenSSH format or convert existingVanDyke Software format private keys to OpenSSH format, allowingyou to use the same keys with other Secure Shell clients.
– Support for [email protected] compression
– When [email protected] compression is specified, compressionstarts after authentication, preventing unencrypted passwords frombeing cached by the zlib library.
– Additional tab support
– Display the list of tabs on the menu using the MENU_TAB_LIST1custom menu item. A new script function, GetScriptTab, returns thetab from which the script was started.
– Windows Vista support
– SecureCRT has been tested under Windows Vista, so when you areready to move to Vista, SecureCRT will be compatible.
– Secure Shell
– SSH1 and SSH2 support
– Both SSH1 and SSH2 are supported in a single client, providingthe maximum in flexibility when connecting to a range of remoteservers.
– User authentication
– SecureCRT supports Password, Public Key (RSA, DSA, and X.509including Smart Cards), Kerberos v5 (via GSSAPI), and KeyboardInteractive when connecting to SSH2 servers. For SSH1 servers,Password, Public Key, and TIS authentications are supported.
– Public Key Assistant
– Support for Public Key Assistant makes uploading public keys toan SSH2 server simple and safe for end users.
– Support for GSSAPI secured key exchange
– Mechanisms supported depend on GSSAPI provider.
– SFTP in a tab
– You can open an SFTP tab to the same SSH2 session without havingto re-authenticate to perform file transfer operations using aninteractive, text-based SFTP utility.
– Encryption ciphers: Strong encryption
– The maximum 2048 bits length of DSA keys under SSH2 providesstrong encryption. SecureCRT supports AES-128, AES-192, AES-256,Twofish, Blowfish, 3DES, and RC4 when connecting to SSH2 servers.For SSH1 servers, Blowfish, DES, 3DES, and RC4 are supported.
– Password and passphrase caching
– SSH2 session passwords and passphrases can be cached, lettingSecureCRT and SecureFX share passwords and passphrases while eitherapplication or the Activator utility is running.
– Port forwarding
– Tunnel common TCP/IP protocols (for example, POP3, IMAP4, HTTP,SMTP) via SecureCRT to a remote Secure Shell server using a single,secure, multiplexed connection. Port forwarding configuration hasbeen integrated into the tree-based Session Options dialog allowingeasier configuration for securing TCP/IP application data.
– Dynamic port forwarding
– Dynamic port forwarding simplifies how TCP/IP application data isrouted through the Secure Shell connection. Instead of configuringport forwarding on a per-application basis in SecureCRT, eachapplication is configured to use a SOCKS server on a local hostport. SecureCRT opens a port on the local host and acts as a SOCKSserver for any SOCKS-compatible application, even those that usemultiple ports, such as FTP.
– Interoperability
– OpenSSH-compatible host key fingerprint support and RSA host keysupport enhance SecureCRT’s interoperability with a variety ofSecure Shell servers.
– X.509 support
– Smart card-based public-key authentication using X.509-compatiblecertificates supports highly secure two-factor authentication.SecureCRT also supports the PKCS#12 (.pfx) standard file format forX.509 certificates and private keys. X.509 host key checkingautomatically accepts the host key if the certificate is valid.
– OpenSSH key format support
– SecureCRT 5.x supports the OpenSSH private and public key formatsfor greater interoperability. Generate keys in OpenSSH format orconvert existing VanDyke Software format private keys.
– OpenSSH Agent forwarding

– Activator support for SSH Agent functionality
– If Activator is running, re-authentication is automatic even ifSecureCRT has been closed.
– Host key management
– SecureCRT allows host keys to be viewed, imported, andexported.
– Shared host key database
– SecureCRT can share the host key database with SecureFX. Theprivate key agent cache is also shared between SecureCRT andSecureFX, eliminating the need to reenter the passphrase.
– X11 forwarding
– Encrypt X11 Windows sessions to secure remote X applications thatare being displayed on the local PC.
– Data compression
– Improves the performance of encrypted dialup connections -variable compression levels from 1 to 9. When [email protected]compression is specified, compression starts after authentication,preventing unencrypted passwords from being cached by the zliblibrary.
