Host key verification failed. lost connection when you reflash the pineapple generates a new key and to get around this you need to remove the offending key "pineapple" in /Users/cthockey16/.ssh/known_hosts on your computer I think it's the second key, don't take my word on it;-) goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Whenever you ssh to a server the client stores information about that server including its fingerprint, that is the bit you say yes to when you connect to a server for the first time. From then on whenever you reconnect to that server it compares the fingerprint to the one you've confirmed is for that box, if they don't match you get a warning like you've got here. It is then up to you to decide whether it is a legitimate change or whether someone has messed with the server. In this case as you rebuilt the device its fingerprint will have changed so you know it is legit. Go into the file /Users/cthockey16/.ssh/known_hosts and remove line 2, you get 2 from the :2 on the end of the filename. If you have connected by name rather than IP you would get 1 warning and one fail like this and so you would then need to remove two lines.

digininja Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 the file is just text, use your favourite text editor. In vim :2 dd :wq will do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digininja Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 you must be doing something wrong then as dd is delete current line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Try this, open your terminal then do; sudo vi /Users/cthockey16/.ssh/known_hosts Then arrow down to the line containing the pineapple's ip address, should be the second line. Type dd which should delete that line, then type :wq! which will write the new file and quit vi. If all else fails and you don't mind killing all your known hosts, just do a rm /Users/cthockey16/.ssh/known_hosts which will just delete the entire known_hosts file.
