SSHGuard

sshguard protects hosts from brute-force attacks against SSH and other services. It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using one of several firewall backends.

Installation

See INSTALL.rst for dependencies and detailed instructions. Briefly:

If you are building from Git, run this first:

autoreconf -i

Then, build it like a normal source distribution:

./configure
make && make install

Usage

Copy the sample configuration file examples/sshguard.conf.sample and follow the setup instructions in sshguard-setup(7). See sshguard(8) for additional options.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.rst for both people who want to write code, and those who do not.

License

sshguard is available under the terms of the OpenBSD license, which is based on the ISC License. See COPYING for details.
