Protect hosts from brute force attacks against ssh and other services using ipfw Maintained by:mij@bitchx.it Port Added: 12 Jun 2007 20:16:23 License: not specified in port
Sshguard monitors services from their logging activity. It reacts to messages
about dangerous activity by blocking the source address with the local firewall.
Sshguard employs a clever parser that can recognize several logging formats at
once transparently (syslog, syslog-ng, metalog, multilog, raw messages), and
detects attacks for many services out of the box, including SSH, FreeBSD's
ftpd and dovecot. It can operate all the major firewalling systems, including
PF, netfilter/iptables, IPFIREWALL/ipfw, IPFILTER.
Sshguard has several relevant features like support for IPv6, whitelisting,
suspension, log message authentication. It is reliable, easy to set up and
demands very few resources to the system.
