I've had one system bouncing off of SSH on one of my servers for about a
week now. I have fail2ban configured to drop them for six hours after
five failed connects. The server in question is configured for key
authentication only but they keep trying to submit a password anyway.
The second the ban drops I see them connecting again. Other than that,
I haven't seen anything bouncing off my servers repeatedly. Everything
gets banned once and never comes back.
