I didn&#8217;t want to run sshd through inetd, which does provide connection throttling.</p> <p>I wanted to blacklist the idiots in realtime - but i don&#8217;t believe in fscking with firewalls automagically. So, I rebuilt sshd with libwrap support, and hacked together this ruby script.</p> <p>It&#8217;s been running fine for a few months now, so have at it!</p> <p>Download it <a href="http://www.waits.net/~swaits/sshbruted.rb">here</a>.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p> Fri, 21 Apr 2006 23:17:46 -0500 urn:uuid:e0c6e5a3-56f3-406f-a213-33bc4c41bfda steve@waits.net (Stephen Waits) http://swaits.com/articles/2006/04/21/sshd-brute-forcers security os http://swaits.com/articles/trackback/224
