Invalid Git RSA key fingerprint












0















I started getting this error



Received disconnect from 192.30.253.112 port 22:2: Connection blocked because server only allows public key authentication. Please contact your network administrator.
Disconnected from 192.30.253.112 port 22


when I tried to commit in git.
Quick googling suggested me to remove the data in ~/.ssh/known_hosts and try.
When I removed the data in known hosts and tried 'git pull'



I got this.



The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.253.112)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:ObNq2tWLML/5O9W4GkU6sqOH5e3KNdxtxT3KU1/9gok.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)


However the RSA key fingerprint that I got did not match with the ones given by github



If I give yes and continue I am getting this error.



@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!


What should I do now?



Not able to commit or pull.

          If the hash does not match, it means that the server you're communicating with sent a different key. Github would probably not change keys without a salient public warning. So, the server is a different server impersonating github server. It could be an evil attacker and/or a corporate proxy.
