Hi Wolfgang, SuSEfirewall2 (config file /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2) already has an option for this: FW_SERVICES_ACCEPT_EXT="0.0.0.0/0,tcp,22,,hitcount=3,blockseconds=60,recentname=ssh" This blocks requests for 60 seconds after the third attempt. Greetings, Ralf Wolfgang Kluge schrieb:
Good morning. I hope someone could help me in this:
I receive remote login attempts in 1 second intervals from the same IP address to our port 22. Port 22 is forwarded by the firewall ( Sifoworks ). OS is openSUSE 11.0
Is there a way to increase the time between a failed login attempt and the next possible login re-try ?
Regards Wolfgang Kluge
