sshd brute forcers

Posted by Stephen Waits Sat, 22 Apr 2006 04:17:46 GMT

Wherever you look, idiots. I got sick of my nightly logs being full of sshd brute force attempts. I didn’t want to run sshd through inetd, which does provide connection throttling.

I wanted to blacklist the idiots in realtime - but i don’t believe in fscking with firewalls automagically. So, I rebuilt sshd with libwrap support, and hacked together this ruby script.

It’s been running fine for a few months now, so have at it!

Download it here.

Enjoy!
