Summary0007732: Bug in SSH Protocol
Description

1)- When we get remote access of a kali machine using the SSH service, The SSH needs to be turned on otherwise the connection gets refused.​

2)- After successfully getting the remote access of the kali machine, If we turn off the SSH on kali machine, We are still able to access the kali machine and we have access to all the files on the kali machine.

Steps To Reproduce

1)- Turn on the SSH service on Kali Linux (systemctl start ssh)
2)- On the other machine, Using SSH, get remote access of kali machine (ssh MACHINE_NAME@MACHINE_IP)
3)- After getting the remote access of the kali machine, Check if the remote access is successfull.
4)- Turn off the SSH on the kali machine. (systemctl stop ssh)
5)- You will notice, You will still have the remote access of the kali machine on the other machine even though ssh is off.

Additional Information

You will need two machines.

Turning off ssh stops the server listening for new connections but doesn't close already established ones.
