I'd have to ask how effective this is as well. My firewall alerts me every time some kid runs a bf on my ssh door. I say kid, becuase if it's not root (does ANYONE still allow ssh to root???) or some ridiculous username; admin, sales, etc. I used to get 50-100 such alerts from my firewall everyday. After blocking entire countries (only four so far, use your imagination) that number has dropped to like less than a half dozen. Kind of hard to believe there are still people out there not securing SSH. Sigh... /rant ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: InfoSec Institute Need to pass the CISSP?
