Over the past few months there have been a remarkably high level of brute force attacks logged by sshd. I was wondering, is there a way that sshd (or some other package) can monitor login attempts and if more than say 5 or 6 attempts are made to login from a particular ip address, temporarily block that address (perhaps at the firewall)? It'd be real satisfying to just dump the attackers' packets to the bit bucket and slow 'em down a bit. Thanx - Gene
