Re:Protecting sshd using spiped

People can connect to spiped, but nothing will go through to sshd unless they can complete the handshake (which requires an unfeasible amount of work unless the person connecting holds the spiped secret).

Interesting. I'll check it out. Thanks!
I've always wanted something like spamd(8) for ssh, so everyone who normally blocks inbound port 22 can work together to thwart the brute force attacks by providing a honeypot/sandtrap/tarpit for the attack scripts to waste all of their time and resources.
