  • terminal type: 80x24 DUMB

    From xbit@1:103/705 to All on Tue Mar 30 08:39:08 2021
    Any way to place IPs logging on with 'terminal type: 80x24 DUMB' into the IP address Filter (silent)? I get a ton and I'm sure most all are scanners.

    Also, getting a lot of the following: SSH WARNING 'Client sent malformed identifier string 'SSH-2.0-Go''. Not as much now that I moved my ssh port to non standard tcp/2222 but scanners will still find it.

    There may be some useful info here re: temporary and permanent bans:

    This may only help if what they're doing counts as a "failed login". I'm not sure if disconnecting during newuser registration is included in that, nor if they're being disconnected because of a protocol error.

    I'm seeing a lot of these connections as well, They connect and disconnect almost immediately, and it really isn't an issue.

    Unless it's causing an actual problem, consider ignoring it. You can make yourself crazy staring at the logs.

    You could do that with a modified login.js. But why?

    Also, getting a lot of the following: SSH WARNING 'Client sent malformed identifier string 'SSH-2.0-Go''. Not as much now that I moved my ssh port to non standard tcp/2222 but scanners will still find it.

    Harmless.
