Backstage: cryptographic R&D internship at Cossack Labs
4 projects | dev.to | 12 May 2021

Now, the real world work starts. We introduce interns to the world of popular cryptographic libraries, help them to make their first OSS contributions, and let them practice with our cryptographic library Themis which provides a high-level crypto API on 14 languages.

CLI SSH works, but Netmiko/Paramiko results in "Authentication type (password) not permitted" error
2 projects | reddit.com/r/networking | 25 Aug 2022

It actually looks like the device is using auth type “none”. And looks like paramiko might not support password-less authentication https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/1437.

For the purposes of this post, let's say we are using the paramiko SSH package, and we to get a better understanding of how it works. Let's go!
