======5.2.2 Ensure SSH Protocol is set to 2 (Scored)======
=====Profile Applicability=====  
<code>
Level 1 - Server
Level 1 - Workstation 
</code>

=====Description=====
SSH supports two different and incompatible protocols: SSH1 and SSH2. SSH1 was the original protocol and was subject to security issues. SSH2 is more advanced and secure.

=====Rationale=====
SSH v1 suffers from insecurities that do not affect SSH v2.

=====Audit===== 
Run the following command and verify that output matches:
<Code:bash>
# grep "^Protocol" /etc/ssh/sshd_config 
Protocol 2
</Code>

=====Remediation===== 
Edit the ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'' file to set the parameter as follows:
<Code:bash>
Protocol 2
</Code>
