I've averaged 1000 attacks per day since April, 2400 per day so far through December, and 2200 per day over the last week. 2105 attacks on Monday December 22. My all-time high was 19905 attempts on Friday December 12. While it is fashionable to blame this on the NKs, there are bastards all over the planet. Regards the NKs, there is an electronic way to test this. Using Intel's latest process, we can build very small "mask ROM" chips that drive a hearing aid speaker. Assuming a whisper quiet output (not hearing aid loud), a sealed pea-sized earbud could last a long time on a battery plus a thermal generator. The bud would contain hundreds of hours of audio encyclopedia in Korean - useful everyday stuff, plus stories of the outside world. We could mass produce a billion of them and airdrop them near NK villages. Even if the government managed to collect 99% of them, millions of NKs would learn about the world, and many would make efforts to reconnect with the rest of us. I prefer change from within. If NK hackers are reading this and react, I can expect a million SSH attempts per day Real Soon Now. Consider this an experiment.
