Here we have nothing So lets enumerate!!

Here we will have 2 files :

auth.php
auth.php.swp

AUTH.PHP.SWP

Here we got another file

Here we got another file /auth_helpers/check_auth

Here we will get username from the file

So rather reversing it we will be buypassing the OPENBSD AUTHENTICATION

For help i took it from my FRIEND @MRCAT

https://www.qualys.com/2019/12/04/cve-2019-19521/authentication-vulnerabilities-openbsd.txt?_ga=2.58244398.587934852.1575530822-682141427.1570559125

So here we will be Going through this process

USERNAME : -schallenge // PASSWORD : 1234567

After intercepting it through burp just change the cookies to username=jennifer

Here when we will pass it through it will say for OpenSSH key not found for user -schallenge

Also if we read that out carefully we will see that -schallenge will interpret the login username options as command line where it ignores the part after -s

after that we will be getting our SSH keys !!
