[Ach] Feedback to applied-crypto-hardening.pdf - Webservers - OpenSSH

[Torge Riedel]

Hi list,

continuing my feedback with SSH / OpenSSH:


# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS"

# ssh -V
OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.2, OpenSSL 1.0.2g  1 Mar 2016

The guide is working for me.

Maybe there is one hint to offer in the guide: Change the port of sshd to somewhat else than 22. I observed massive reduction of sshd attacks on my servers after changing the port.

Regards
Torge
