    Yep. About 50 minutes after I had stopped working on the webserver it appears someone tried to bruteforce their way into the server via SSH. Why they would be I have no idea and I've denied the IP for now (yay for IP tables) however, have a small sample of the usernames they were trying -

    Code:

    Now it's technically impossible to bruteforce your way into the webserver seeing as I use a key for authentication, not a password. Also those seem rather generic :v:
