the NoaBot targets weak passwords connecting SSH connections.

Harden your configs people.

AllowUsers is a really goood one.

Or just don’t allow password auth at all.

Or just have a good password

If we’re going to play that game. Require an Ed25519 key with a strong password.

(In this case the “wrench” is just breaking into some weak link that isn’t ssh, once your password is strong to not be a weak link)

Very poor title, like someone’s just got their “Big Book of Clickbait”

Everything is under attack all the time, and everything is never-before-seen until it’s seen.

I love how in security, we have gone from “use strong passwords” to “don’t make your own passwords”, because people will just refuse to learn.
