Subject: SSH Scans

   After of seeing a lot of ssh scans on my firewalls and home PC, I
made a script that filters out the "Invalid User" entry inside
/var/log/messages and do some cleaning process, the result is a
dictionary (homebrew) of users that tried to login into my hosts.
   Into the dictionary I saw english and Brazilian Portuguese words,
maybe we have Brazilian hackers running scan bots too.
   This work is only for experiment and curiosity to see what is
happening with Internet today, you can get the script and dictionary
in http://www.michel.eti.br/2006/03/ssh-scans.html

   If you have a better idea of sugestion, please mail me:
