Hi list,
Been getting a ton of attempts on my ssh/ftp connections as of late, first they started with the usual script kids trying the admin/guest/etc on the ssh connection, now i get people trying all sorts of stupid usernames with blank passwords on the ftp connection.
1. Is there a way to block an IP, either perm. or for set period of time for SSH attempts 2. Is there a simular way for VSFTP
I'm sure i could block the address's manually, but i'd like it if it was automated? say for 6 attempts?
I've read that "port knocking" can help with this problem. You might investigate that. HTH, Kevin
