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?

  Is that more likely than getting hacked when visiting a website?

    Are we all pretending we have no empirical data on this? How many RCEs has there been in popular web browsers over the past two decades (dozens? hundreds?), compared to how many RCEs there has been in the OpenSSH client (perhaps we can make it one if we include xterm in that)?

    It is a real question, because I didn't know about the mentioned ssh attack vector.
    Regarding empirical data, that would certainly be interesting, not sure if RCE is the only category one would look at in that case.
