Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol used to log into and administer remote systems securely over an untrusted network.
Forescout found post-quantum-capable SSH on 6% of IoMT and 16% of medical OT devices in a 2.5 million-device study of over 50 healthcare organizations. With long device lifecycles and few upgrade paths, hospitals are left planning around segmentation.
Reality
A Go decoy on port 22 logged 3,888 login attempts from 666 addresses in 22 hours, and the part worth copying is the resolver that turns a loader's URL template into an address you can actually block.
Reality
On hosts where a credential already matches, the engine reads the listening ports from the operating system instead of inferring them, trading probe timeouts for findings on ports the network blocks it from reaching.
Reality
CERT Polska reports active exploitation on internet-facing MikroTik routers, where the chain needs no private key and no user interaction, and the fixed builds close the bypass without explaining how attackers learned the account details.
Reality
A proxied session costs about 320 KB of buffers and goroutine stacks, so peak load for a mid-size engineering organisation is tens of megabytes, and the constraint that actually bites is the controller's network interface.
