Hi all, I have set up a SSH server for few weeks ago. During these weeks my server has been under very very intensive brute force attacks (I have no idea how these bastards found my address). I would like: 1. Disable ping. (I actually have added a rule to IP tables to drop all ping packets but it still respond to it!) 2. Ban some known IP addresses which are those addresses which are already used for attack. 3. Ban an IP address which tries to login with wrong username or password more than three times. Any help will be appreciated. I would also like to know if it is the only way to perform these tasks using IP tables or there are any other ways to do so. I am using a P4 PC with one network card and OpenSuSE 10.3 installed.
