Subject: Re: Distributed SSH username/password brute
	forceattack

Hello,

  until yesterday the attacks came from different servers all over the world. But only about 5-10 attacks per day (I maintain my little gateway server for my home network on cable internet) and they tried until they got banned (about 3 times because auf fail2ban).

  But now I only get 1 try per machine but about 20-30 machines per hour! This is the new quality of brute forcing I wanted to ask the list about. I have never seen anything like it before. And I am not sure when it is stopping.

The last hour:
