Years ago (actually probably more than 10 years ago now) I actually switched from port 22 to 622 on my server because I wanted to get rid of the noise of people attempting to bruteforce my SSH regularly. It worked perfectly for years but surprisingly I've had a handful of bruteforce attempts on port 622 in the past year or so. Nothing particularly targeted either, always the same typical default users (root, admin, oracle, mysql etc...). I wonder who bothers doing that.
Since I disabled password logging on all accounts and my key is stored on an HSM I'm not too worried about it though.

- gsich 9y ago622 might be too low. Scanning first 1024 ports is easier.
