                             A thought process …

I have to wonder the thought process of a script kiddie that runs the SSH22
Scanner (which tries to log into servers via ssh using a series of precanned
userids and passwords) as fast as it can. Doing so only brings attention to
the fact that it's sucking up network bandwidth and loading down the box,
gaining the attention of the sysadmin, thus negating the purpose of running
such a program in the first place.

I also have to wonder at the thought process of a script kiddie that logs
back into a box after loosing the connection and not bothering to see if
anyone is logged in as root before starting the SSH22 Scanner back up.
