sshguard (net/sshguard) Updated: 9 months, 3 weeks ago Add to my watchlist

Sshguard protects networked hosts from brute force attacks.

Sshguard monitors servers from their logging activity. When logs convey that someone is doing a Bad Thing, sshguard reacts by blocking he/she/it for a bit. Sshguard has a touchy personality: when a naughty tyke insists disturbing your host, it reacts firmer and firmer.
