Given the recent attack on SSH port I'm trying my best to keep my servers at bay. Of course changing the default port would be the number 1 rule to go but that is not feasible.
We've got denyhosts will set up some iptables rules, maybe fail2ban. Appart from than and considering that the least possible ways you have to get in the saffer you are, my SSHD has set up:
ssh -v example.com
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
I started wondering, what sould I keep? keyboard-interactive (KI) or password?
Public key is needed. Both KI and password seam to do the same thing but KI, according to the docs, would do it better. Can anyone shed some lights here, please?
Thank you in advance.
