I recently stumbled upon something called endlessh. This is, in essence, a very small server that keeps SSH clients engaged, possibly for a long time, by sending unlimited amounts of junk, at reasonable time intervals, in lieu of the SSH identification string on receiving an SSH connection request. I was wondering whether this is a capability that guys would consider adding to OpenSSH as a new launch-time option? Together with a feature that would enable the OpenSSH daemon to select what clients (IP addresses families or sets of names) the capability would (or would not) apply to, this might come in handy when it comes to deterring script kiddies. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
