Blocking SSH Brute Force attempts using iptables
Saturday, January 12th, 2008After my recent break in I have looked into ways of protecting SSH and my server resources. I employ fail2ban on my main server, it has the resources to run such a programme - my Linksys NSLU2’s however do not. The solution is to use iptables to limit the number of connections any host can make in a given time frame. I wrote up a quick how to on this over at my wiki. Enjoy.
