F'ing with SSH Goons

How about a auto-login script that grabs their IP and returns the favor...or some other DoS type irritation. Personally I don't screw with them at all, instead, I have a monitor which detects the attack and blocks their IP *completely* from the server. They think they crashed it but my users are still good to go...everyone's happy. Maybe if they "succeed" enough times they'll get bored and stop??? *sigh* I can dream can't I?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hej all So for fun yesterday I put ssh back on port 22 from my usual obscure port. Within 5hrs I had someone dictionary attacking my box from the UK (surprise surprise it wasn't China). Now I'm all about defense and generally not into inviting trouble, however, I was wondering if there is anything fun you can do with those types. I was thinking of creating a common user name with a blank passwd and then sending a tty message to them after they went interactive, because honestly it would make me smile a lot just to see them logoff in fright after seeing me see them. That is fun and all but does any one know of other fun stuff for screwing with these jokers? all the best /adese -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkk93J8ACgkQSsV9wg1YVSIVOwCfYbEt0n7+LQUqQFpTbtIysFp0 REIAoL288FBwSm/UsHpvVDOq+aRGaFbm =iriR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
