DenyHosts is a script intended to be run by system administrators
|
|
to help thwart SSH server attacks (also known as dictionary based
|
|
attacks and brute force attacks).
|
|
|
|
In short, it does this by monitoring your syslog output for failed
|
|
login attempts and tweaking /etc/hosts.deny accordingly, and it can
|
|
optionally send and fetch lists of ssh probers from a central server.
