putty-go

Consume puTTY keys (PPK files) in go

Overview

This library supports version 2 and version 3 PPK files, with the following limitations:

• ssh-ed448 keys cannot be converted to Go public/private keys.
• Argon2d KDF is not supported.

Examples

Load the public and private keys from a password-protected PPK file

keyPair, err := LoadKeypair("mykey.ppk", []byte("hunter2"))

For unencrypted PPK files, use ppk.NoPassphrase as the passphrase.

Load the public key from a password-protected PPK file without the password (skips MAC verification)

ppk, err := InsecureParseFile("mykey.ppk")
pub, err := putty.UnmarshalPublicKey(ppk.PublicBytes, ppk.Comment)
