I Use Zip Bombs to Protect My Server
There is a similar thing for ssh servers, called endlessh (https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh). In the ssh protocol the client must wait for the server to send back a banner when it first connects, but there is no limit for the size of it ! So this program will send an infinite banner very ... very slowly; and make the crawler/script kiddie script hang out indefinitely or just crash.

Nice idea!
Btw, such reverse slow-loris “attack” is called a tarpit. SSH tarpit example: https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh

What You Get After Running an SSH Honeypot for 30 Days
It's a tarpit that slowly sends a message to bots to keep them (and their bandwidth, memory, and CPUs) occupied: https://github.com/skeeto/endlessh?tab=readme-ov-file
-
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.

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.

The fun way is moving your ssh port somewhere else and installing endlessh to f the bots.
