How much success have you had?

I ran kippo for a while and it seemed that all attackers were trying to upload files over SCP, which kippo does not support. A few attackers resorted to logging in and downloading with wget. However, the vast majority of attacks ended with a failed SCP session.

Great question. I had this exact same problem before I came across/contributed to a fork of kippo by micheloosterhof that implemented SCP (and more).

Massive success for me using kippo.

The typical intruder in our case uses wget to pull down files and that works w/o a hitch.

If you have the time to run it AND check on it you'll learn a lot.
