Disable SSH with a cron job
Hi someone is attempting to brute force SSH access on my ReadyNas Ultra2 from multiple IPs. This can be in the form of several hundred login attempts within a second at a particular time of day. ...
I'm not sure how much they will do, but they also are impacted, since the traffic from such attacks also hammers their network (this assumes you are not uniquely targeted). They can track down the IP address owners, and complain to their ISPs. You can potentially do the same, but you likely won't have the same clout.
You could also try forwarding a non-standard port (something over 49152) to the NAS port 22. Then specify that port in putty (or whatever you are using remotely). That would let you close port 22 in your router/firewall.
