sshguard
Context
I open up ssh to internett, so I can login from outside my house, to my server at home. I have added a strong sshkey, and disabled login with password. I have added a bruteforce part to my pf.conf from : https://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/en/bruteforce.html But I still see login attempt from external user in my /var/log/authlog So I installed sshgurad Code:
pkg_add sshguard Code:
table <sshguard> persist block in proto tcp from <sshguard> And on a more meta level, does program like sshguard strengthen or weaken the security. Should not a -b 15000 key be strong enough in it self? Another service running, increase risk from errors or backdoors in program. But on a more psychological term, it anoys me to se login attempts from hostile user again and again, and it clutter my /var/log/authlog. |
