45 This program is generally installed in
47 as a pipe to parse the
49 demons error log in realtime.
50 In addition, a root crontab entry should generally be created to clean
54 at least once a day. The
56 module must be loaded and operational as well.
58 This program will monitor the ssh syslog output and keep track of attempts
59 to login to unknown users as well as preauth failures.
60 If 5 attempts fail in any one hour period, a permanent entry is added to the
63 for the associated IP address.
64 You still have to add a rule to
66 to block IP addresses listed in this table.
67 The cron entry you create cleans the block list out typically once a day.
69 This program generally limits brute-force attempts to break into a machine
