How do you know this? What tool or utility tells you this fact? I have a port exposed for a game server but realising I don't know how many attempts are being made.
I was kinda new to linux so I used https://www.papertrail.com/ and hooked it up to my syslogs, and then went "oh... oh no... oh god no..." and immediately turned off SSH.
Thank you kindly, I am reasonably new to Linux myself. Ibuse it but don't have a great understanding
Ibusing it is how you learn it.
For ssh it'll log out to the auth log at /var/log/auth.log
