Not only from this side of the Atlantic... I've seen a big increase in SSH scans in the last couple weeks. Here's my last 4 scans: - Philippines ISP (Linux kernel 2.4.x) - Chinese Hospital (RedHat 6.2) - Swedish web server (down at this time) - NY based dns server (RedHat 7.0) Compromised hosts? Maybe, but from what I could check, none of the responding sites is using SSH except for one which has port 22 filtered. Fernando -- Fernando Cardoso - Security Consultant WhatEverNet Computing, S.A.

Hi folks, No great shakes here, but I'm curious to know if anyone else is seeing concerted SSHd scans coming from RIPE netblocks lately. I've noted a few here and, while I considered them oddities at first, I'm starting to wonder if someone (or something) across the Atlantic doesn't have the much-ballyhoo'd "0day for sale." I'm not bored enough to see what they're really up to (yet), so I figured I'd just toss this out for general consideration. Oh yeah, the latest scan came from 193.206.153.7.
