    Hullo the list..

    I have a box at home, running fedora core 1, behind a router, which I
    use for serving some dev webpages, and some other miscelaneous stuff..

    I'm seeing lots of ssh login attempts with user=root from two or three
    IP addresses, after I blocked access at the firewall based on host.

    Can anyone point me at some good resources where I can bone up and learn
    more about counter-measures.... I'm not looking to take this guy out
    (although would'nt be a bad thing).. But would be interesting to find
    out more.

    tia
