Preventing Brute Force Attacks With BlockHosts On Debian Etch
In this article I will show how to install and configure BlockHosts
on a Debian Etch system. BlockHosts is a Python tool that observes
login attempts to various services, e.g. SSH, FTP, etc., and if it
finds failed login attempts again and again from the same IP address or
host, it stops further login attempts from that IP address/host. By
default, BlockHosts supports services that use TCP_WRAPPERS, such as
SSH, i.e. services, that use /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny, but it can also block other services using iproute or iptables.
