Usage

Let's connect to an ip that changed hosts:

$ sshukh pi@192.168.1.54
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
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:vOsLgBskwRk1pvSpgpALYpdi/9WZ5OGB5iI+80Zkdg8.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/akopyl/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
