     1.5 +It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using one of several
     1.6 +firewall backends, including iptables, ipfw, and pf.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +Sshguard can read log messages from standard input (suitable for piping from syslog)
     1.9 +or monitor one or more log files.
    1.10 +Log messages are parsed, line-by-line, for recognised patterns.
    1.11 +If an attack, such as several login failures within a few seconds, is detected,
    1.12 +the offending IP is blocked.
    1.13 +Offenders are unblocked after a set interval, but can be semi-permanently banned
    1.14 +using the blacklist option.
