i usually run a swatch script to monitor ssh login attempts and deny them via ipfw - most of them are addresses from people running linux trying to bruteforce there way in - the list can get pretty long.

also whats most funny is that alot of those people try windows server exploits on me.... damn script kiddies....

It's not that big of a deal...they didn't get in or anything.  If
you've got a server that's always connected to the internet, you'll
see people trying to break in all the time.  The more popular your
server, the more frequent the attempts.  This is just someone trying
to log in via SSH - so as long as you have good passwords on all your
accounts, and disable remote root login, you're fine.

You may consider denying access after X failed login attempts.

Hi All,

I was browsing through my log files and noticed that
someone (or many people) is trying to gain illegal
access to my server (see snippet from log files
below).

The below log file clearly indicates someone trying to
hackaway at my personal server.

I performed the following steps:

nmap -v  210.0.142.153

and noticed that this person/institution had port 80
and 21 open.

I visited their website and it appears to be someone
from hongkong.

HERE IS THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION AS IT APPEARS ON
THEIR WEBSITE

When I saw the logs for the first time. I took the
following steps:
1) AllowUsers in sshd contained only users that I
wanted to have access to my ssh
2) Created a decent rulest within ipfw that permitted
incoming access to only two ports ssh and http

I took the issue of creating a good firewall quite
lightly and now I regret that decision.. now I have
learnt... Can someone provide me with guidance on this
issue and advise me on next steps to take action
against such losers.

Thanks
RV
