Re: Stupid User Tricks: Password Selection - "WORD1"
It's bad. Especially with 'leet haxxor tools' downloadable to any 10 year old in Poland (so it seems, based on my logs anyway) everyone is jumping in on the hacking craze.
I've set up a few nice honeypots on my server and am merrily collecting IP addresses for these zombies and blocking them at the firewall automatically - I was adding about 10 IPs/sec at first, it's trailed down a bit now. Looks like I'da saved a lot of time by just IP banning most of eastern eruope, russia, china, africa, and apparently one town in Japan.
Dealing with the dumb dictionary attack on ssh is really simple. You don't allow logins, just preshared keys.
Personally, I'm sick of it. I can't even imagine the crap BBR has to filter out.
The Internet is Broken. I fear the cure as much as the disease, but it's sad that yet another good human creation turns into the same old crap.
