there is a *large* difference between a botnet and the typical random scans happening all day long and in reality having sshd not on port 22 alone is not a security enhancement *but* it brings down the typical noice in the logfiles to nearly zero what results in seeing *serious* scans and attacks much easier by not clutter the screen 24 hours a day the same for rate-controls - you avoid the typical noise in /var/log/secure and *ifÜ your sshd is not on the default port *and* you have rate-controls *and then* you see hits in /var/log/secure you can be *pretty sure* that there is a *really serious* and targeted attack going on > P.S.

It makes you look like a troll i quoted *exactly* the part i replied to and stripped the parts i *not* replied to which is a perfect quoting style instead a full-quote with no reference to my answer
