    Hey, is it not just a simple honeypot reverse hack ssh server?

    People understand that reverse hacking can happen when connecting to random ssh server, right?

      No, actually, I've never heard of such a vector. How would that work?

        Vulnerability in your ssh client (unlikely) or terminal emulator (more common but lower reach).

          Terminal emulators have, on occasion, had all kinds of interesting escape codes that I wouldn't want to expose to an attacker. Whether this is even a true "vulnerability" is somewhat a matter of opinion (in the sense that the feature works as designed, but that's maybe a bad thing).
