Server under SSH brute force attack...please help.

[Anthony J Biacco]

I tried this and couldn't get it to work at all on my Centos 4.5 system. Didn't log anything.
Tried BlockHosts though, and that works well. YMMV

Very cool! I've just installed it on a server which is exposed to the
public. Easy to install, configurable, works like a charm.
