SSH key fingerprint

Use cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub |awk '{print $2}' |base64 -d |sha256sum | awk '{print $1}' command on target host to get the SHA256-based RSA key.

Note:

Similarly, change the public key path, run the command to get ecdsa or DSS SSH key fingerprint configured on target host.
