#1 It really does help to change the port number for sshd. Cut the attacks on my server to zero. You then change the port number on whatever ssh (or scp) client you're using to the new port number.

#2 I bet you get one heck of a lot of bad guy lurkers.

A tremendous irony that such governments and organizations don't even want their spies to see what is written here, for fear that they could be "corrupted" by uncontrolled information.

You might even publish an ISP by nation breakdown.

One humorist I know, a few years ago, published some rude humor about Islam and got a gazillion hits from Arabia--not an attack. Most had been searching for rude humor about Islam. He didn't get any email complaints, either. Hmmm.

#4 Servers from China and korea are not signifigant, IMO. I get these attacks all the time, tempered by some simple measures, as you know. It just fills up the logs. Reading them makes me want for a nap.
