I agree with Morning Wood 100% .... Running sshd on port 22 anymore in this day
and age is really not a smart decision, as you WILL be subject to these script kiddies' scanners.It has become as rampant as netbios, and other very common windows vulnerability
scans in my opinion.I was also hit with a very hard brute force attack on several of our ssh servers
about a year ago, and immediately moved ssh to a bizarre port, and setup an IPspecific allow policy at my firewall. I have not been a victim of another brute
force yet.Again, as Morning Wood stated, this will not make the connection 100% secure, as someone in your IP allow list can still try and brute force your sshd, but this
helps immensely.. Good luck to you. Shane oc192 security Quoting Morning Wood <se_cur_ity () hotmail com>:
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> M.W ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
