Description

sshguard protects hosts from brute force attacks. It supports IPv6, whitelists and log authentication, interfaces with all the major firewalling systems, has a remarkably clever log analyzer, and is independent, fast and lightweight as it's written in C. Parsers cover OpenSSH, several MTAs, IMAP/POP3 and ftp daemons.
