Needless to say, the other security measures must still be in place. So
even if they do figure out which port your sshd is running on, you still
deal with them the way you normally do: allow connections from specific
machines/ranges only and drop the rest. I'm only saying that hiding ssh
will get rid of the scripts.
At any rate, I really don't understand why they even bother with brute
force. Do they ever find anything?
I'd guess that they must, otherwise they would apply the automation to
something else which pays off. From Their point of view, it is a great
thing that computers don't get bored.
IMHO, of course
