Ask HN: Do you have any SSH bot scripts?

I do not have any SSH bot scripts and would like to play around with the default OpenSSH_10.0p2 capabilities to slow bots to a crawl or see if I can get them stuck rather than playing whack-a-mole.

To prove I temporarily control the IP in question one can SFTP as [email protected] on port 22 with no password and there is a __README__.txt. Feel free to brute force or crash sshd.

If you have scripts that work fine I would love if you SFTP them to me. If your scripts get stuck I will show my work being done to slow bots via SFTP. Beyond that of what OpenSSH 10 is already doing to deprecate fail2ban.

The goal is to bend the default applications and OS in a way most should be able to without installing anything.
