# Endlessh: an SSH tarpit
Endlessh is an SSH tarpit that *very* slowly sends a randomized SSH
banner. It keeps clients locked up for hours or even days at at time.
The idea is that you put your real SSH server on another port and let
the script kiddies themselves stuck in this tarpit instead of bothering
real server.
Endlessh is an SSH tarpit that *very* slowly sends an endless, random
SSH banner. It keeps SSH clients locked up for hours or even days at at
time. The purpose is to put your real SSH server on another port and
then let the script kiddies get themselves stuck in this tarpit instead
of bothering a real server.
Since the tarpit is in the banner before any cryptographic exchange
Since the tarpit is the banner, before any cryptographic exchange
occurs, this program doesn't depend on any cryptographic libraries. It's
a simple, single-threaded, standalone C program. It uses `poll()` to
trap multiple clients at a time.
