A package I just recently found and have installed on a couple of
systems is fail2ban which has a bunch of popular rule sets included
and is easily expandable by the user.  Basically it parses your
systems logs and then performas ip blocks with iptables based on your
specifications.  It has ssh buffer overrun pertection built-in by
default.  It also has others you can easily enable.  There's a debian
package so I imagine there are packages available for other distro's
as well.
