Hi,
I've seen the Pam modules for SSH which allow you to restrict brute force
attacks by blocking users after a determined number and frequency of failed
log ins.
Does anyone know if there's a similar module that blocked the source IP of a
repeated failed log in attempt?
My servers are public facing constantly get brute-force attacks they use
random usernames and passwords in an attempt to gain access. But as they
often come from a static IP, I think it would be useful if I could
automatically identify and block these source IP's from logging in via SSH.
Anyone done such a thing and if so is there a module for Pam I could download
rather than having to create something.
Regards
Matthew
