It looks like i'm getting a dictionary attack on my system. I moved ssh to another port instead of 22 in hopes that would put a halt to it but it did not. Any recommendations to improve security here? I notice these attacks come from a variety of IP's so pursuing one individual is probably not worthwhile.
