.....how bad would it be if i actually tried this. not the hammer part but now i really wanna know what happens if i open port forward to 22.
SSH lets you remotely control a computer It runs on port 22 If you forward port 22 to your computer, you will allow anyone on the internet to SSH to your computer
You can do that pretty safely by disabling root login and disabling password logins - only using keys to SSH in.
You can join the ~borg~ botnet by enabling root login, setting a simple password (maybe even password as recommended!), and waiting.
on any server with ssh exposed you'll probably see a bunch of login attempts in the logs (automated attacks trying to find machines with a weak password). only keys is the way lol.
