I don?t know for how long, but I sent a break after an hour :-) I didn?t have the time to test this issue more. kaosone wrote: >> This could be used in a denial of service attack ? or could be used to stop >> ( or at least annoy ) ssh bruteforcers J >> > >no, the bruteforcers don't use ssh, but other programs that can be not >affected by this It is good to see that someone knows ?all? the bruteforcers :-) ( could you please ask them to stop ) I do not know if this issue affects Hydra, Guess-who and so on. I have only tested this issue with OpenSSH client and putty. Putty seems to be less affected ( cpu usage 25-40% ). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
