Protecting Against SSH Brute-Force Attacks

Fadıl

Practically all UNIX-based servers run a SSH server to allow remote administration across the Internet. From time to time, you might notice a large number of failed login attempts. Often, these are brute-force attacks against your SSH server

In this hack, we’ll show you 5 tips to protect machines running SSH daemons from brute-force attacks.

Change the default port

Configure your SSH daemon to listen on a non-standard port. SSH servers have no trouble doing this. Just make sure you configure your firewalls to allow connections to the new port. For instance, to have your SSH daemon to accept connections on port 2222, edit the sshd_config file and modify the value of Port to 2222 and restart the SSH daemon.

Tunneling Remote Desktop (RDP) Over SSH

Fadıl

Windows remote desktop (RDP) is an extremely useful way to have access to your computer’s desktop from everywhere. Suppose you need to connect to your work computer through RDP but your company’s IT staff configured the firewalls to block all remote connections accept secure connections (e.g. SSH). This is just an example scenario where you need to tunnel remote desktop over SSH.

In this hack, we’ll show you how to tunnel remote desktop connections over SSH, and how to remotely connect any internal computer by tunneling remote desktop through the main gateway.

Mount Remote File Systems Over SSH with SSHFS

Fadıl

If you work on remotely connected machines, most likely you’re going to use SSH to secure your connections. But, what if you just want to work with files on a remote server, but find SSH file transfer tedious in repetition and establishing a VPN tunnel is too complicated?

What you’re looking for is a simple tool for mounting remote file systems easily, transparently and securely as if they were just another part of your local machine. In this hack, we’ll show you how to configure Fuse and SSHFS to access remote file systems securely over SSH.
