    The Docker Hub base image for Alpine has more than 1 billion downloads.

    Okay sure… but most docker images that are using alpine aren’t running an ssh server inside that alpine container. I can’t say it’s zero, because I’m sure someone is doing crazy somewhere, but I bet it’s very close to zero.

    The non-docker deployments are more legitimate targets, but this number here is basically useless for actual vulnerability, in my opinion.

    Second, the target system account must be configured to be passwordless

    Finally it pays off to use my birthday as password

        Too short. I use that to issue a random key long enough to log into SSH.

      Funny coincidence, I’m also using your birthday as a password!
