denyhosts quandry

[James Homuth]

Fail2Ban operates along the same theory as Denyhosts, though. So whatever
regular expression causes Denyhosts to flip out will probably do the same
for Fail2ban. Tried it on my Gentoo boxes a while back and noticed very
little if any difference. So instead I switched back to Denyhosts and
started removing PAM from my system.

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.
