Sshguard is a small program that monitors services running on your
|
|
machine from the log files. When it detects that someone is doing
|
|
something bad to a service, sshguard blocks the IP address of the bad
|
|
guy with a firewall rule.
|
|
|
|
Sshguard was started in 2006 to mitigate the growing brute force
|
|
attacks to SSH servers. Because of the generality of its infrastructure,
|
|
however, it was soon extended to monitor and protect more and more services.
