    To this observation, add the fact that I have a few systems which are "open" for the
    express purpose of cataloging where ssh attacks are sourced.  The systems I have
    are both IPv4 and IPv6.  All attacks have been against IPv4.  In over a year of these
    systems supporting IPv6 there have been Zero attacks on those addresses.


As more systems use IPv6,  bad actors will have to collect active IPv6 addresses.  You may
be one of the first to see that start.

Oh, I think it is also worth noting that in over one year of collecting data on brute force
ssh attempts the "attackers" never once used, except for root, a username which actually
exists on the system.
