SSH Banner - What would you put as a warning?

[Kyle F]

Hello.

So as I'm sure Linux-experienced users are aware, there is a way of showing a user trying to SSH into a Linux server, a 'banner' of sorts, or like a warning notice that tells the connecting user that the server is secured and that unauthorized access is prohibited. One can achieve this by modifying the "MOTD" and "issue.net" files in "/etc/", and then restarting SSH.

My question here is simple; what would you people put in as a connection warning?

Nothing.

Attempting to access a server you don't have authorization to is against the law, banner or not.

Someone attempting to brute force their way into your server isn't going to be able to read (nor would they care) about the banner.

It's just something for personal use.

Get some fancy ascii art, a witty quote, or anything else you'd like then, lol.

That gave me a random idea.

You can get even more creative and display something like "<connecting ip> is looking pretty sus" if you wanted, lol
