For those who did not read the article:
Difference between using usual 22 and "unusual" 24 port, 18000 attempts vs. 5 attempts over one weekend.
Seems to weed out script kiddies quite quickly.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with having 3 locks on the door:
ACl
port knocking
nonstandard port
Another analogy would be one bouncer, one secret knock, and one nonstandard keyhole.
Of course, one still wants to have a difficult to pick key after all that.
