SecureCRT

SecureCRTThe power of SecureCRT is that you can directly monitor your device remotely without using a computer. Features of SecureCRT include text scripts, easy-to-use toolbars, user keymap editors, customizable ANSI colors, etc. SecureCRT's SSH protocol supports DES, 3DES and RC4 ciphers and passwords with RSA authentication.

SecureCRT Highlights

Security authentication and encryption

Multi-factor authentication: Supports password, public key, keyboard interaction and Kerberos verification to enhance authentication security.

Key management: Built-in public key assistant simplifies the public key upload process; supports RSA, Ed25519, ECDSA and other key types, and is compatible with smart cards and PKCS#11 tokens.

FIPS 140-2 Validated Library (Windows only): Meets the stringent security compliance requirements of the government and financial industries.

File transfer and integration

SFTP/SCP: Secure file transfer via VCP and VSFTP command line tools.

Drag-and-drop operation: The visual interface supports dragging files directly to complete upload/download without the need for a command line.

Integrated with SecureFX: Seamlessly switch terminal emulation and file transfer functions to improve work efficiency.

Scripting and Automation

Multi-language support: Supports VBScript, JScript, Python and PerlScript, and can write scripts to execute commands in batches, automatically log in, or complete complex operation processes.

Script Recorder: Record user operations and generate scripts to quickly reproduce the task process.

Command window: Edit text in advance and support history recording, making it easy to repeatedly send commands or edit files.

SecureCRT software features

Cross-platform compatibility: Supports Windows, macOS and Linux to meet the needs of users with different operating systems.

Customizable interface: adjust the layout of the toolbar, status bar, and button bar, customize shortcut keys and double-click word separators.

Log audit function: Automatically record complete session logs, support classified storage by timestamp and session name, and meet compliance inspection requirements.

Anti-idle mechanism: Periodically send signals or custom keys (such as the space bar) to prevent the device from automatically disconnecting due to no input.

Bastion machine jump: Use the "firewall" function to jump directly from the bastion machine to the target device, simplifying the operation process.

Software function

Multi-protocol support

SSH1/SSH2: Provides encryption algorithms such as AES, Twofish, Blowfish, and 3DES, and supports port forwarding, X11 forwarding, and dynamic forwarding to ensure data transmission security.

Telnet/RLogin: compatible with traditional protocols and suitable for scenarios with low security requirements.

Serial/TAPI: Supports serial port connection for debugging embedded devices or industrial control systems.

RDP (Windows only): Integrated Remote Desktop Protocol provides direct access to Windows server desktops.

Multi-session management

Tabbed interface: Supports opening multiple tabs or windows at the same time, making it easy to switch between different device connections.

Session grouping: Manage sessions by project or device type to improve search efficiency.

Synchronization operation: Enter commands in a window to synchronize to other associated sessions and perform repetitive tasks in batches.

Advanced terminal emulation

Broad compatibility: Supports terminal types such as VT100, VT102, VT220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Xterm, Wyse 50/60 and Linux console to meet diverse needs.

Customize the display: Adjust fonts, colors, character encoding, and screen buffer size to optimize the visual experience.

Hexadecimal view: When debugging serial communication, the session output is displayed in hexadecimal format to facilitate data analysis.

SecureCRT FAQ

Unable to connect to remote server

Reasons: Network failure, firewall blocking, SSH/Telnet service not started, port error.

Solution:

Check the network: Use ping or traceroute to test network connectivity.

Verify service status: Execute netstat -tuln | grep 22 (SSH) or telnet localhost 23 (Telnet) on the server to confirm that the service is running.

Check the port: Confirm that the port configured in SecureCRT is consistent with the server (such as SSH default 22, Telnet default 23).

Turn off the firewall for temporary testing: such as sudo ufw disable (Ubuntu) or systemctl stop firewalld (CentOS).
