[Gllug] ssh brute force attacks

I just allow anyone to connect with any username and no passwords, however, the
shell I use is the ashbay shell which requires all commands and their parameters
to be in Pig Latin to work correctly.

These common commands must be called as follows:

ls -> slay
rm -> mray
mv -> vmay
vi -> ivay
emacs -> macseay
ps -> spay

Parameters too must be passed in Pig Latin so:

ps -elf -> spay -lfeay
vi /etc/passwd -> ivay /tceay/asswdpay

etc etc.

This causes all automated software to die of apoplexy and disconnect.  Even if a
human takes over at this point and tries anything, they shortly go in to seizures.

Hope everyone got a smile out of this.

Happy Holidays all,

Andy
