    	So far this year, I have done two investigations of intrusions that utilized 
    sshd vulnerabilities
    in odrer to beak in.  The post compromise activity (rootkits used, backdoors 
    installed, attacks to other
    systems) were significantly completely different.  The one common thing I 
    found was that both intruders left
    behind trojaned or disguised ssh backdoors, but I suspect that that is just 
    part of a new trend of using
    encrypted channels.
