denyhosts
From http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html ...
-
denyhosts is a Python script that analyzes the sshd server log messages to determine what hosts are attempting to hack into your system. It also determines what user accounts are being targeted. It keeps track of the frequency of attempts from each host.
- Additionally, upon discovering a repeated attack host, the
/etc/hosts.deny file is updated to prevent future break-in attempts from that host.
- An email report can be sent to a system admin.
