Hi folks, looks like "denyhosts" is nol more in the repos. I like this tool, because it blocks the IP, when the wrong password is sent n-times. The blocked IP is added into /etc/hosts.deny, which IMO is a great idea. I am using a script, which, cleares the hosts.deny after a certain time, but this is just my behaviour. My question: which successor for denyhost do you suggest. I found sshguard, which looks promising, but maybe you got a better tool, which is similar to denyhosts. Happy hacking! Hans
