Also, from the article, please note paragraphs like:
"I configured my SSH daemon to listen on port 24 in addition to its regular port of 22 so I could see the difference in attempts to connect to each (the connections are usually password guessing attempts). My expected result is far fewer attempts to access SSH on port 24 than port 22, which I equate to less risk to my, or any, SSH daemon."
I was pointing out that this is silly. Those "attempts to connect" are totally meaningless, as I explained.
