Subject: Possible DOS issue in OpenSSH ssh client
The client did just hang ? 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.

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% ).
