yes, under normal circumstances you would use iptables to block the port. But when you are forced to byte-counting and you do not want to install other programms (and maintains them) on your embedded system, this is clearly an option.

I did not try with more compli\ |cated situations. The limits of this approach needs to be evaluated. Since the begin of this thread this sounds like a 100% firewall thing to me. Why would you like to compile this in? I mean, i can imagine the NetBSD/FreeBSD black(now block)list approach in which a server software who "knows" what has happened acts via a hook instead of let some expensive log parser reevaluate state which is known in the moment the log happens. But this? I am not an administrator and thus firewall guru, but i for example have in my net-qos.sh:fwcore_start() (heavily vaporised this is) change_chain INPUT new_chain i_good i_alien i_sshorvpn i_tcp_new add_rule -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT add_rule -j i_good add_rule -j i_alien add_rule -p tcp --syn -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j i_tcp_new change_chain i_tcp_new fwcore_has_i ssh && add_rule -p tcp --dport ${p_ssh} -j i_sshorvpn change_chain i_sshorvpn So and in here you can allow or deny ssh-specific anyway you want to, add, remove and change, use "-m recent" and hitcounts etc., and all without recompilation. (Having real address and/or CIDR tables which could be managed separately would be cool though.) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
