SSH Host Key Change Warning

User
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the ECDSA key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:/ySTGzwr10Q3BR5vPYONjHYvjAx6yNbg80w+IixINgE.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/admin1/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending ECDSA key in /home/admin1/.ssh/known_hosts:34
remove with:
ssh-keygen -f "/home/admin1/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "[35.236.219.140]:63808"
ECDSA host key for [35.236.219.140]:63808 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

The message you're seeing indicates that the SSH client has detected a change in the server's host key for the IP address `35.236.219.140`. This could happen due to a legitimate change (e.g., the server was reinstalled or its SSH key was rotated), but it could also be a sign of a security issue, like a man-in-the-middle attack.

Here's how you can safely address this:

### 1. **Verify the Change**
– **Contact the server administrator** to verify whether the SSH key for `35.236.219.140` was changed intentionally.
– If you're the administrator, confirm that the server's host key change was legitimate.

### 2. **Remove the Offending Key**
– If the change is verified as legitimate, you can remove the old key from the `known_hosts` file and add the new one. You can do this by running the following command:

ssh-keygen -f "/home/admin1/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "[35.236.219.140]:63808"

This will remove the old key from the `known_hosts` file.

### 3. **Reconnect to the Server**
– After removing the old key, try connecting again using SSH:

ssh user@35.236.219.140 -p 63808

– The SSH client should prompt you to add the new host key to your `known_hosts` file. Verify the fingerprint carefully to ensure it matches the one provided by the administrator (or that you trust).

If the key matches, type `yes` to add it.

### 4. **Update Known Hosts**
– After accepting the new key, it will be added to your `~/.ssh/known_hosts` file, and the warning should no longer appear.

If you cannot verify the key change or suspect a security issue, **do not connect** until you can verify the server’s identity. It’s important to ensure that you're not falling victim to a man-in-the-middle attack.

composer add

The `composer add` command is used to add a package to your project in Laravel or any PHP project that uses Composer for dependency management. This command is part of Composer’s "require" functionality, which installs packages or libraries that your project needs.

Here’s the basic syntax and usage for adding a package with Composer:

### Syntax:

composer require vendor/package-name

Where:
– `vendor/package-name` is the name of the package you want to install.

### Example:
To install a package, like `guzzlehttp/guzzle`, for HTTP requests, you would run:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

This command:
– Downloads the latest version of the package.
– Adds the package to the `composer.json` file under the `require` section.
– Installs the package into the `vendor` directory.

### Adding Specific Versions:
You can specify a version or version range for the package:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:^7.0

This would install version 7.0 or higher of Guzzle, but less than version 8.0.

### Installing Dev Dependencies:
If you need to add a package only for development (e.g., testing libraries, debugging tools), you can use the `–dev` flag:

composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit

This will add the package to the `require-dev` section in your `composer.json`.

### Updating Dependencies After Adding:
After adding a package, Composer will automatically update your `composer.lock` file to reflect the new dependency, ensuring that the installed versions are locked.

### Optional Flags:
– `–no-scripts`: Skips running scripts defined in `composer.json`.
– `–prefer-dist`: Downloads the package as a .tar or .zip archive (useful for speed).
– `–dev`: Adds the package to the `require-dev` section.

Once you’ve added your package, you can use `composer install` to install all the dependencies (if you haven't already).

Let me know if you have a specific package in mind that you want to install!
