Paramiko : Error reading SSH protocol banner

Question

Recently, I made a code that connect to work station with different usernames (thanks to a private key) based on paramiko.

I never had any issues with it, but today,

Answer 1

When changing the timeout value (as TinBane mentioned) in the transport.py file from 15 to higher the issue resolved partially. that is at line #484:

self.banner_timeout = 200 # It was 15

However, to resolve it permanently I added a static line to transport.py to declare the new higher value at the _check_banner(self): function.

Here is specifically the change:

• It was like this:

 def _check_banner(self):
        for i in range(100):
            if i == 0:
                timeout = self.banner_timeout
            else:
                timeout = 2

• After the permanent change became like this:

 def _check_banner(self):
        for i in range(100):
            if i == 0:
                timeout = self.banner_timeout
                timeout = 200 # <<<< Here is the explicit declaration 
            else:
                timeout = 2
