You are a bit stupid doncha? since you obviously don't work professionally with Unix machines let me tell you a "secret".
By changing the default SSH port you avoid 99% OF ALL ATTACKS!!!!!! Because 99% OF ALL ATTACKS ARE AUTOMATED BOTS THAT SEARCH ONLY FOR SSH ON PORT 22 and try to brute force it. But if you had ever taken look in a firewall log you would have known that.
How stupid do you look now hmm?
