Re: [vcf-midatlantic] OT Linux Malware

My signature is "approximately" true. I got tired of seeing "this email free of malware because I run such-and-so anti-virus program". Bill Dudley

Brute force attempts to log into Linux hosts by SSH isn't exactly malware though? It's not like a graphical or script ad delivered via a commercial ad network on a web page that exploits vulnerabilities in a browser. You can easily free yourself from the SSH attempts by moving sshd to a different port if you must leave it open to the entire internet. Also turning off interactive (password) based logins can help. - Ethan
