Why so many bots?
You can reduce the noise a lot by moving ssh to a non standard port. Security through obscurity isn't actually security, but it will reduce the number of attempts you receive. Another thing I like to do is put Endlessh on the standard port 22. That way as bots go by they will get stuck or at least slow down on that connection.

Is SSH secure enough?
SSH tarpit with Endlessh and for the hidden SSH: auth with both a key files (that need unlocking and is on the computer) AND an One Time Password on my phone.

"Failed password for root" SSH login hacking attemp?
If you change the ssh port, install https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh to slow down the attackers
-
ChatGPT doxes itself
Even this requires you to successfully guess the username and password correctly, and if it's just not the default most people won't bother brute forcing further. Sidenote: you can use endlessh on a computer and port forward port 22 to trap scanners that scan the entire internet for open ssh ports to exploit.

Ssh brute force attack with fail2ban.
The fun way is moving your ssh port somewhere else and installing endlessh to f the bots.

Keep it tight everyone! This is a day of sshd logs from a proxy server in China pinging my SSH server and trying every username imaginable. Does anyone have any tips to increase security?
But, as a prank to Chinese hackers, what I did on my system was to run endless ssh. It keeps the ssh client busy as it slowly sends the ssh banner. I modified the code to send strings like:
-
VPN to remotely access dockerized services
For hardening: I use lynis for some guidance, the VPS runs rkhunter, AIDE and other things nightly and mails me the reports, fail2ban manages the SSH port, having SSH on a custom port helps to keep things quiet. If you're into these kind of things, have a look at the Endlessh tarpit to learn about login attempts on port 22 on your machine - I found it eye-opening.

What service can I use to ban users?
You should check out https://crowdsec.net. More advanced, uses crowdsources cti to block attacks even before they happen. Also both nginx and captcha is supported. Disclaimer: I am head of community. Visit /r/CrowdSec or our Discord at https://discord.gg/crowdsec if you have questions :-)

Hardening exposed WireGuard ports
Do I need something like crowdsec, or is WireGuard secure enough on its own?

A 'leech-like' connection constantly established on my server
Before falling too much in love with Fail2Ban try taking a look at https://crowdsec.net. Similar functionality but way more advanced (but easier to configure). New project that leverages the power of the crowd and shares information of attacks among users so they help each other out protecting themselves.
What are some alternatives?
opencanary - Modular and decentralised honeypot
Fail2Ban - Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
sshesame - An easy to set up and use SSH honeypot, a fake SSH server that lets anyone in and logs their activity
Wazuh - Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform. Unified XDR and SIEM protection for endpoints and cloud workloads.
cowrie - Cowrie SSH/Telnet Honeypot https://cowrie.readthedocs.io
pfSense - Main repository for pfSense
docker-swag - Nginx webserver and reverse proxy with php support and a built-in Certbot (Let's Encrypt) client. It also contains fail2ban for intrusion prevention.
ModSecurity - ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx that is developed by Trustwave's SpiderLabs. It has a robust event-based programming language which provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring, logging and real-time analysis. With over 10,000 deployments world-wide, ModSecurity is the most widely deployed WAF in existence.
