Comment on I use Zip Bombs to Protect my Server
frezik@midwest.social 2 weeks agoWhen it comes to attacks on the Internet, doing simple things to get rid of the stupid bots means kicking 90% of attacks out. No, it won’t work against a determined foe, but it does something useful.
Same goes for setting SSH to a random port. Logs are so much cleaner after doing that.

/MACs
/KexAlgorithms
. Nothing ever gets far enough to even triggerfail2ban
. Then of course it’s key only login from there.
