# Amount per source IP:
cat /var/log/sshd/* | grep 'Invalid'|rev|cut -d ' ' -f 1 | rev | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
 
# Amount per day:
cat /var/log/sshd/* | grep 'Invalid' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 1-2 | sort | uniq -c
 
# The usernames they try:
cat /var/log/sshd/* | grep 'Invalid'|rev|cut -d ' ' -f 3| rev | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n | less
 
 
#The source IPs of accepted logins (to look for things not you)
egrep 'Accepted (keyboard|publi)[^\ ]+ for' /var/log/sshd/* | \
   sed -r 's/(.*from[\ ])([0-9.]+)([\ ]port.*)/\2'/ | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
 
# Same IP list, but with hostnames instead of counts 
# (assuming 'host' is your reverse lookup utility)
egrep 'Accepted (keyboard|publi)[^\ ]+ for' /var/log/sshd/* | \
   sed -r 's/(.*from[\ ])([0-9.]+)([\ ]port.*)/\2'/ | sort | uniq | xargs -n 1 host
