another random rant:
why the fuck do `ssh` and `scp` use slightly different argument flags for providing a port. `ssh` uses `-p` and `scp` uses `-P` and i am forever mixing them up
@kim Mainly:
- Some SSH-based tools just don't let you set a port at all
- It's security theater - real-world automated SSH scanners can and will just enumerate the entire port space, so it doesn't really do anything to begin with
@joepie91 i wasn't aware of that first point, that really sucks :o
for that second point, absolutely agreed. in my case i'm only doing this as one of the ports opened is proxied to another box
@joepie91 i'd be interested to know the other reasons!
