Hi lina!
I followed the thread and I wonder why nobody recommended to change sshd to
listen on any other port than 22, e.g. 2424. That will calm down most attacks
/ probing of ssh.
Also I wondered why nobody recommended to install DenyHosts?
I installed it on my OpenBSD gateway and it is quite funny to see which
usernames and passwords are tried to get into the box.
That was with sshd still listening on port 22. Now that it is on another port
there were no probes whatever for about a year. Stupid hacking!
Of course you need to inform your ssh users of the change. If the same
machines on your own network still attack ssh than it should be easy to figure
out which machine is doing that by looking at the MAC-address.
Kind regards,
Eike
