   03-18-2009 - denyhosts and fail2ban
For a quite a longtime now there has been a non-stop flood of ssh brute force attacks all over the world. To try to stay on top of security, I came across denyhosts and fail2ban. Denyhosts ending up being my preferred choice, because it said the was sometype of collective feature like a blacklist where if an attack was detected on 1 machine, then it updated the blacklist for the IP. This seemed to mean you could automatically block someone before they even attempt to access your machine. I thought it was important enough to make a note about it on my blog.
