On examining /var/log/secure for several firewalls I manage remotely using ssh I have observed a recurrent pattern of probing over the last several that attempts to connect using user id's in the following order... test / guest / admin / admin / user / test
I am seeing this, along with random usernames in large blocks from compromised IPs
Is it worth reporting the behaviour to the net block assignees in case they aren't aware their server might be compromised?
Usually not. They are generally fools who won't reply, or if they do they will blow you off.
