| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 1 Sshguard protects hosts from brute-force attacks against SSH and other services. |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 2 It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using one of several |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 3 firewall backends, including iptables, ipfw, and pf. |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 4 |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 5 Sshguard can read log messages from standard input (suitable for piping from syslog) |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 6 or monitor one or more log files. |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 7 Log messages are parsed, line-by-line, for recognised patterns. |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 8 If an attack, such as several login failures within a few seconds, is detected, |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 9 the offending IP is blocked. |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 10 Offenders are unblocked after a set interval, but can be semi-permanently banned |
| Hans-G?nter@24289 | 11 using the blacklist option. |
