Description:
BlockSSHD 0.9 is networking software developed by James Turnbull.
BlockSSHD is a Perl script based on BruteForceBlocker v1.2.3 that dynamically adds IPTables rules to block SSH brute force attacks.
BlockSSHD checks a log file you specify, for example /var/log/secure on a Red
Hat, for SSH login failure messages. If it detects a failure message it records the source IP address and starts a counter. If messages continue to be detected from the same source IP address the counter is incremented for each message. When the counter reaches a user-specified threshold then the script will add an IPTables rules blocking SSH connections from that source IP address.
A user-specified time-out is also defined to trigger a reset of the counter. If the counter is incremented but has not yet reached the blocking threshold and a new login failure message arrives then BlockSSHD checks the time-out. If the last increment of the counter occurred earlier than the current time minus the time-out period then the counter is reset rather than incremented. The time-out defaults to 600 seconds (10 minutes).
The BlockSSHD script also has some command line options:
) -d | --daemon | --start - Runs the script as a daemon
) --stop - Stops the script
) -h | --help - Prints help text
) -v | --version - Print the version
Running the BlockSSHD script without any command line options will start it interactively.
You will also find a Red Hat style init script in the init directory.
What's New in This Release:
Fixed init script binary location
Fixed minor documentation errors
Fixed spec file errors - including adding conf file installation (Thanks to Samuel Granjeaud for reporting these bugs)
BlockSSHD 0.9 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.
Downloading BlockSSHD 0.9 will take if you use fast ADSL connection.
