Does Changing Your SSH Port Lower Your Risk? (2008)
- lmontrieux 12y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the author's point can be summarised as: Obscurity will (at least in the case of an SSH deamon) not make an attack any less likely to /succeed/, but it will make it less likely to /happen/. Note that what he observed were automated, scan-everything-you-can, undirected attacks. I would presume that changing the SSH port will do very little against a targeted attack.
- danieltillett 12y agoWho really knows, but it will certainly keep your log files cleaner and this alone makes it worthwhile doing.
