Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 7, 20214 yr 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?
February 7, 20214 yr 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.

June 1, 20213 yr You can get even more creative and display something like "<connecting ip> is looking pretty sus" if you wanted, lol
