Re: Some new SSH exploit script?

Hey... just a question - is there some new expoit for SSH, or some new
script? My SSHd is getting HAMMERED today, starting about an hour
ago.... this is nuts! I currently have 10+ script-kiddieZ banging away
at one of my SSHd boxes... (which is up to date, mind you).

<begin suggestion>
very common, did you just start running a sshd or just now bothered to look at the logs?
suggest employing wide reaching ip deny rules ( or a few explicit allow rules ).
another idea is to just move your sshd off of port 22, this will cut down on all but dedicated
( read genuine ) attempts to brute your sshd.

</end suggestion>
