What is SSH Password Auth

SSH Password Auth is the DataPlane.org companion feed to SSH Client Attacks, narrowed to IPs observed completing the SSH handshake and attempting password-based authentication against honeypot SSH services. Password-auth is a stronger signal than connection-only because it requires the attacker's tooling to actually present credentials — so the feed has a higher attack-confidence than scanner-only lists. Operators deploy it as a pre-authentication deny-list and as a SIEM enrichment overlay for production SSH log analysis. It is indexed here because the DataPlane.org methodology is well-documented and reproducible, making it useful as an academic-research baseline.
