Oh and,

I’m assuming you contacted Microsoft’s abuse? If not, it’s not cool, not to mention unprofessional, to publicly call 
them out on such a public forum without giving them an opportunity to correct it first.

Depending on what is on those machines, I would just recommend using fail2ban. The default is that if an ip address 
fails ssh auth 3 times in 5 minutes, their ip gets blocked via iptables for 5 minutes. This is enough to thwart most 
scripted attacks, especially those from a certain government in Asia. This is configurable to various applications, 
timing schemes, and blocking/jailing mechanisms.

Dear Nanog'er,

We are facing a lot of port scan and brute force attack on port 22 (but
not limited to) from Microsoft AS 8075 range toward our own infra, or
toward our customers.
We have sent email to abuse () microsoft com, but no answer.

source ip are:
NetRange:       40.74.0.0 - 40.125.127.255
CIDR:           40.74.0.0/15, 40.112.0.0/13, 40.124.0.0/16,
40.76.0.0/14, 40.80.0.0/12, 40.125.0.0/17, 40.96.0.0/12, 40.120.0.0/14
NetName:        MSFT



We consider port scan and brute force on ssh port as an attack, and even
as a pre-DDOS phase (could be use to install botnet, detect unpatched
host, and so one).

It's one thing to propose services and make money over an infra, it's an
other thing to take care that you clients do not use this infra to make
illegal stuffs.


How do you deal with such massive amount of 'illegal' traffic ?

Thank,
Best Regards
Marcel





He are some examples (we have more than 3000 such packets per day just
from them, probably Azure), and source ip is always differents of course:
