Introduce extra delay before closing unauthenticated sessions
To make it harder for attackers, introduce a delay to keep an
unauthenticated session open a bit longer, thus blocking a connection
slot until after the delay.
Without this, while there is a limit on the amount of attempts an attacker
can make at the same time (MAX_UNAUTH_PER_IP), the time taken by dropbear to
handle one attempt is still short and thus for each of the allowed parallel
attempts many attempts can be chained one after the other. The attempt rate
is then:
"MAX_UNAUTH_PER_IP / <process time of one attempt>".
With the delay, this rate becomes:
"MAX_UNAUTH_PER_IP / UNAUTH_CLOSE_DELAY".

Multi-binary compilation ======================== To compile for systems without much space (floppy distributions etc), you can create a single binary. This will save disk space by avoiding repeated code between the various parts. If you are familiar with "busybox", it's the same principle. To compile the multi-binary, first "make clean" (if you've compiled previously), then make PROGRAMS="programs you want here" MULTI=1 To use the binary, symlink it from the desired executable: ln -s dropbearmulti dropbear ln -s dropbearmulti dbclient etc then execute as normal: ./dropbear <options here>
