Keep Out Repeat Offenders with Fail2ban

[MyWorld]

Tired of automated attacks on your systems? Want to beef up security a bit by denying would-be attackers a third or fourth chance? Then you need Fail2ban. Fail2ban watches logs and then bans IP addresses, based on too many password failures, by updating the firewall rules. Specific rules can be defined by the user and multiple log files can be monitored.

I'm sure there are a few sysadmins that could use this.

Been using it for ages, don't think I would leave a box open to the public without that installed. Servers that are firewalled and only allow certain ips that is not so much needed, neither if you run on a non-standard ssh port.
