My first hacker attack

in hacker •  7 years ago  (edited)

My friends and I are running a VPS for personal development projects and we had the same happened to us. It seems there is just an abundance of idiots probing for insecure servers via SSH. I couldn't agree more with your message -- Strong passwords save lives. :)

    Since than I disabled root login and login with password. Now it is unbreakable:)

    Also it killed the joy out of it as I can't watch the logs rolling as the attacker trying to break in:/

    I'm surprised how fast I got the first attemt of break in. The server was only running since 2-3 days...

      Yeah, we've only had ours up for a few weeks as well and same thing. I've enabled 2FA for web access and we've generated SSH keys for each login. Very amusing to watch them attempt to break in.
