Re: Anyone else seeing SSH scans?

Hi!

I've also encountered these scans twice a day from different IPs.
Remarkable is that these scans alle originate from different Asian
countries 
(mostly.jp && .kr).

I can't think of an sshd configured that badly, but who knows...

Betreff: Anyone else seeing SSH scans?

I've noticed that several *NIX machines I have running (all of which are
located in the same IP block) are periodically getting scanned via ssh
for the accounts 'test' and 'guest'.

The source IP varies with each scan.  But I'm getting about one of these
a day now.  Obviously, I don't have accounts with that name on my
systems, but still....

Is this something new, or just people looking for badly configured
machines?

Matt
