Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached sshd_config.txt and the sshd.log referenced in the report, then reproduce the high CPU usage and rapid log growth on Windows Server 2022. The report does not identify an error or a specific expected outcome, so done would require determining the cause and confirming that CPU utilization and logging return to normal.
