I think you article is missing that the port you change to should be open first to connect from outside, it could lock down servers for newbies.

nice simple article. I would go into a little more detail about why to and why not to change the port. This is a very debated thing.

One problem I notice with your post is that you say ‘How Do I Connect to OpenSSH’ and then you promptly say ‘Before we go further, we need to verify….’ and then you proceed to give your conclusion without ever detailing anything about how to connect.

You simply show how to verify via netcat and then talk about a nice banner.

Please tell me my eyes don’t fail me ?

I think you should provide a lot more detail and examples for this post to be of any value.
