I have a bit of an issue. I am on the road for weeks at a time so use ssh/sftp quite often to access files on my home system running hardy. (I also run hardy on my notebook) I use a no-ip address for my home system due to no static IP available from my ISP. My problem is many different IP's (changing daily) trying to brute-force my ssh. I use a very secure password so that is not a huge issue, but the damn idiot "ub3r h4x0rz" trying to bust my little home system are eating up bandwidth. I also run 2 VOIP lines off my router and the morons are actually using enough bandwidth to affect my call quality! My IP on my notebook changes on a daily basis, so I cannot firewall that port without killing my access. I am getting fed up with the daily email to admins telling them they have an open proxy or abusive user. Is there any script/program that will firewall an IP after a set amount of bad password attempts? Or another route I am not aware of? Would love to be able to stop the daily inspection of my log files. Thanks for any help.
