Hey Hey,

Has anyone seen and/or used SSH Faker yet? It seems like a pretty cool idea... Reminds me a lot of the Cisco Lock & Key firewall... SSH won't allow you to connect directly (works with the ssh fake program and hosts.deny) but you can telnet to 22 and enter a password, then you'll be allowed to connect using SSH...

I've seen more and more reports of brute force attacks against SSH... perhaps this is the solution...

I'd love to hear feedback if anyone tries it and if I get around to installing it and testing it out, I'll let you know what I find out.

Check it out @ http://www.pkts.ca/ssh-faker.shtml

Peace,
HT
