Hi,

You're not alone :)

I'm beeing scanned too, from various ip-addresses for various users.

I guess the solution is to block SSH in your firewall, and open it to your needs.

Hi Guys,

Don't know whether this is the right list, but need to ask if others have
the same entries in their logs for the past number of months. Let me take a
step back, I maintain a number of networks on different IP ranges and they
are all being probed by what looks like a tool, or maybe it is the same
group/script. The originating computers range from open proxies to owned
boxes and there are two distinct patterns I've seen so far. The following
scan is a recent example where the root/password from x.x.x.x: 59 Time(s)
caught my attention the first time a while back, and still getting the same
scans on a daily basis:

account/password    from 210.245.168.28: 1 Time(s)
