[Cialug] RE: SSH ports Security Paper - Theron?

[Colin Burnett]

Point being that you perform some sequence of port hits and it'd open,
say, ssh?  Does it include a client that can execute a given sequence
as a string or would you have to roll your own?

It's like a secret knock at the door.

Seems like the next step would be to take the concept of frequency
hopping where the ssh listening port jumps port based on a predefined
algorithm.
