twisted.conch.client.knownhosts.HashedEntry

A HashedEntry is a representation of an entry in a known_hosts file where the hostname has been hashed and salted.

Class Variable	MAGIC	the 'hash magic' string used to identify a hashed line in a known_hosts file as opposed to a plaintext one.
Method	__init__	Undocumented
Class Method	fromString	Load a hashed entry from a string representing a line in a known_hosts file.
Method	matchesHost	Implement `IKnownHostEntry.matchesHost` to compare the hash of the input to the stored hash.
Method	toString	Implement `IKnownHostEntry.toString` by base64-encoding the salt, host hash, and key.
Instance Variable	_hostSalt	the salt to combine with a hostname for hashing.
Instance Variable	_hostHash	the hashed representation of the hostname.

Inherited from _BaseEntry:

Instance Variable	keyType	The type of the key; either ssh-dss or ssh-rsa. (type: `bytes`)
Instance Variable	publicKey	The server public key indicated by this line. (type: `twisted.conch.ssh.keys.Key`)
Instance Variable	comment	Trailing garbage after the key line. (type: `bytes`)
Method	matchesKey	Check to see if this entry matches a given key object.

Inherited from FancyEqMixin:

Method	__eq__	Undocumented
Method	__ne__	Undocumented

@classmethod
def fromString(cls, string):

Load a hashed entry from a string representing a line in a known_hosts file.

Parameters	string	A complete single line from a known_hosts file, formatted as defined by OpenSSH. (type: `bytes`)
Returns	The newly created `HashedEntry` instance, initialized with the information from `string`.
Raises	DecodeError	if the key, the hostname, or the is not valid encoded as valid base64
	InvalidEntry	if the entry does not have the right number of elements and is therefore invalid, or the host/hash portion contains more items than just the host and hash.
	BadKeyError	if the key, once decoded from base64, is not actually an SSH key.

def matchesHost(self, hostname):

Implement IKnownHostEntry.matchesHost to compare the hash of the input to the stored hash.

Parameters	hostname	A hostname or IP address literal to check against this entry. (type: `bytes`)
Returns	`True` if this entry is for the given hostname or IP address, `False` otherwise. (type: `bool`)

def toString(self):

Implement IKnownHostEntry.toString by base64-encoding the salt, host hash, and key.

Returns The string representation of this entry, with the hostname part hashed. (type: bytes)
