Responding to a Brute Force SSH Attack

It was a bad start to a Monday morning: I arrived at work to find the intrusion detection system so bogged down in alerts that it was barely responsive.

I used to run SSH daemon in an unsual port like showed in the article. Together with this configuration, I like to use fwknop to implement SPA (Single Packet Authorisation). In this case, the SSH daemon will be reachable just from the pre-authorised sources.

If SPA is useful to your reality, consider to use it!
