Change the SSH port...
- windowsworkstoo 11y agoThe point was to have a look at what kind of attacks are launched on the general internet, so the point was to be attacked. Also, changing the port does basically nothing these days, with stuff like Shodan around constantly port-scanning.
- WillieStevenson 11y agoLike I mentioned above, changing the SSH port would only lessen the attempts on my box. I am interested in collecting as much data as possible.

- voltagex_ 11y agostrangely, searching Shodan for product:ssh port:443 finds nothing - when I know there are boxes around running sslh or similar to run both SSH and HTTPS on the same port. Seems like you can hide in plain sight when the scanner has no idea you're there.

There are many things you can do to protect yourself and changing the port is one of them, but if you rely on it you're going to have a bad time.
