AIUI, dictionary attacks on PubkeyAuthentication are hopeless, and I'm

Do you thinkthat there is a human being behind those attacks, trying all
the passwords? It is a program. which is launched from someone else's

Of course I know that ... what I mean is, can't the bot tell that the
server only takes key authentication?

What's the bot trying to send me, random big numbers?
