Depending on the logging setup of the host you tried connecting to,
entries like the ones below might have appeared to it's system logs:

Oct 20 05:46:14 hostname sshd[32055]: Failed rsa for illegal user blah from 127.0.0.1 port 2380
Oct 20 05:46:17 hostname sshd[32055]: Failed password for illegal user blah from 127.0.0.1 port 2380
