OPENSSH - List supported Ciphers and Algorithms
We need this list because sometimes our Vulnerabiliy Scanning software
points out that some old ciphers are WEAK.
From the man pages of SSH:
-Q cipher | cipher-auth | mac | kex | key
Queries ssh for the algorithms supported for the specified version 2. The available features are: cipher (supported sym‐
metric ciphers), cipher-auth (supported symmetric ciphers that support authenticated encryption), mac (supported message
integrity codes), kex (key exchange algorithms), key (key types).
