OpenSSH (Open Secure Shell) is a widely used suite of secure networking tools based on the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol. It ensures encrypted communication over unsecured networks, supporting secure remote access, file transfers, and tunneling. These logs capture authentication attempts, connection events, and security-related activities, making them valuable for security research, incident response, and SRE automation.
