[OLPC Security] XS Server Security

[Greg Smith]

Hi All,

I have an XS server on the Internet. It was broken in to via a
dictionary style attack in August.

That style attack is now blocked but we're still being probed and
attacked somewhat regularly.

I have some background on what has been happening. Its under control but
I could use a security expert who we know and trust to help analyze the
past and investigate possible future vulnerabilities.

Let me know if there is someone interested in helping with this.

Thanks,

Greg S

The dictionary attack was played against the root password via SSH?

How was it blocked?

Best regards.
