Re: What can I do about breakin attempts?

What can I do about this?

Why is your server accepting connections from the world? Use your
firewall to restrict access to the limited number of addresses (or
address ranges) where you might actually want to connect. Another
tact is to move the server to a non-standard port. What you are seeing
is probably yet another windoze zombie box. Lots of suggestions in
that other thread.

I don't really get why nobody here has ever heard anything about
key-based authentication. It makes brute-force attacks practically
impossible. You (Moe) seem to be particularly interested in
cryptography. I expected that _you_ would be the first to recommend
that.
