First the attacker probes to see if SSH is accepting connections. Most likely the scanner also attempted to fingerprint the IP address to identify the operating system. This is most likely an automated process on a compromised system.

Next the attacker begins attempting to crack the SSH password for the root user. Once again these attempts are automated, and use a cracking tool which is based upon SSH-2.0-libssh-0.11.

Once the SSH password has been cracked, the attacker connects manually from another IP address, most likely his/her system. Note that the attacker is using Putty, indicating he/she is using a Windows system.

I'll keep an eye out for future attempts to use this honeypot from that IP address for malicious purposes. Hopefully I'll get some interesting results.
Some interesting info on the attacker's "real" IP address:
http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=express&host=2.192.102.247
It appears our attacker is using a mobile phone as his internet connection.
