Reminder to secure your homelab: I forgot to turn off SSH on my NAS 5 days ago after using it briefly and had almost 900 attacks since then. Fortunately SSH was not running on default 22 port and access was blocked on the Synology and no passthrough to SSH from my router.

there's also this other thing called sshesame which gives the attacker a fake shell to run commands in. i ended up with a 30gb logfile within a few months lol
So I opened up one port on my network for an SFTP server, and in just the last 7 days there have been 611 attempts to log into it... It's always interesting to see the usernames that try to log in, so I pulled them and sorted them all out.

I started an SSH honeypot project with the goal of finding out what these attackers (bots mainly) would do if they did get in.
