Default pf.conf output to bruteforce file

Hello All:

I have the following rule in pf.conf:

# bruteforce blocking
block quick from <bruteforce>
pass inet proto tcp to $nic port ssh \
keep state (max-src-conn 10, max-src-conn-rate 5/5 \
overload <bruteforce> flush global)

Where should the bruteforce file be placed and with which permissions to have pf write out information for bruteforced attempts?

Thanks,
Darryl

It has been a while when I played with pf tables.

AFAIK pf keeps the contents of tables in memory. But according the pfctl man page you can show/display the contents of a table with pfctl -t bruteforce -T show
So if you redirect that output to file with something like pfctl -t bruteforce -T show >bruteforce.txt you have those addresses in a file.

How to use that file for a next reload of the pf.conf rules is well explained in the pf users guide and pfctl man page.
For permissions I would start with the same as "/etc/pf.conf" : rw for root, nothing for group and world.
