Host Key Fingerprints

When you SSH to a server for the first time, you are asked to verify the host key fingerprint of the server. Make sure the fingerprint is one of the following values before proceeding. If you see a different fingerprint, it means your connection is under attack, and if you continue your password will be stolen. Disconnect immediately and email root@techhouse.org.
