If you do telnet to remote server you can see ssh version running in remote host, As a result, an attacker could gather more knowledge about the target system and develop more target attacks on the system, such as brute forcing for valid credentials.

Have tried amending the /etc/default/telnetd, to suppress the banner

Is there any option or ways to hide the version from broadcasting.

Howdy, Stranger!
