I just turn off password authentication on SSH and moved to keys, then moved to IPv6. The automated scans haven't made it to v6 yet. The only better thing I could do is have an external v4 SSH honeypot that moves as slowly as possible to tie up a (tiny) resource.

IPv6 seems to be a good example of security by obscurity, with up to 64 bits of random IP adresses per machine, making scanning impossible in practice ?
