1 Sshguard protects hosts from brute-force attacks against SSH and other services.
2 It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using one of several
3 firewall backends, including iptables, ipfw, and pf.
5 Sshguard can read log messages from standard input (suitable for piping from syslog)
6 or monitor one or more log files.
7 Log messages are parsed, line-by-line, for recognised patterns.
8 If an attack, such as several login failures within a few seconds, is detected,
9 the offending IP is blocked.
10 Offenders are unblocked after a set interval, but can be semi-permanently banned
11 using the blacklist option.
