Is it called "*sshole", or is it called "asshole" and the article censored it.

I mean, doesn't matter really. I'll be calling it "asshole" regardless.

Edit: This article calls it "sshhole". Now I'm triply confused.

It's *sshole because it's both a reference to ssh access, and the fact you could log in with the password ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** (or any string over 256 characters long).

The site linked covers it in more detail: https://sshhole.com/
