Re: Could sshguard be backported?

[Matteo Bini <matteobin@protonmail.com>]

sshguard is lighter and simpler than fail2ban.

According to its website [1] sshguard was started to have something closer to
the traditional UNIX daemon: a small application written in C. As a
"collateral" service, it is appealing to have something running standalone,
consuming as little memory and computational resources as possible, and not
sensitive to the dependencies and the versioning incompatibilities of script
interpreters.

I guess it is a matter of taste and style. Personally I really like minimalism.
