mozilla security: hangs after clicking on binary file

["H. S." <greatexcalibur@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Due to the various sshd dictionary (apparent) attacks I have been
observing in my syslog, I tried a little seach on what script or worm or
bot is doing this and discovered this site:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~krispykringle/sshnotes.txt

When I click on sshf on this url:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~krispykringle/ssh_kits/ssh/ , mozilla seems to
hang. I waited for a few seconds and then killed mozilla and used wget
to download the ssf file.

The file seems to be:
$> file sshf
sshf: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for
GNU/Linux 2.0.0, statically linked, not stripped


Just being paranoid, but why would mozilla hang on when I click on sshf
link on the above URL? Or is it just waiting to do something? The CPU
load monitor shows high load. Hopefully I haven't shot myself in the boot :)
