What is SSH Client Attacks

SSH Client Attacks is a feed of IP addresses observed by the DataPlane.org passive-sensor network as making client-initiated SSH connections to honeypots configured to look like attractive targets. Because the sensors do not advertise SSH services to legitimate clients, a connection from any IP is by definition either a scan or a brute-force attempt. The feed is most useful as a pre-authentication deny-list for production SSH gateways: blocking IPs that DataPlane has already seen scanning shaves off the loudest portion of attack traffic without complex log analysis. It is indexed here as a passive-sensor-grounded SSH-abuse reference.
