Fun fact: OP's attacker has their server in Canada. OP could manually block IP with IPtables and file a complaint with the Canadian govt if it got super personal.

This type of attack not only targets vulnerabilities, but also configuration mistakes. That means even the most up-to-date system could be easily hacked.

No I mean I understand but here's the thing: it's a layer. What do you lose? People can pivot private addresses A LOT easier than public addresses. It's not perfect and the IP report might lead to nothing but CMON, it might lead to something about as easily.

@DanielB but even the default installation isn't half bad. You really have to f up somewhere to have a configuration failure.
