Hi, This is off topic to this list, but I dont want to subscribe to -chat just to post there... Someone is currently running a distributed SSH attack against one of my boxes - one attempted login for root every minute or so for the last 48 hours. They wont get anywhere, since the box in question has no root password, and doesn't allow root logins via SSH anyway...
But I was wondering if there were any security researchers out there that might be interested in the +-800 IPs I've collected from the botnet? The resolvable hostnames mostly appear to be in Eastern Europe and South America - I haven't spotted any that might be 'findable' to get the botnet software. I could switch out the machine for a honeypot in a VM or a jail, by moving the host to a new IP, and if you can think of a way of allowing the next login to succeed with any password, then you could try to see what they delivered... But I don't have a lot of time to help.
