More and more each day I am seeing my root emails contain hundreds of entries
like this:
May 8 02:23:35 warpstone sshd[26092]: Failed password for root from
222.185.245.208 port 50519 ssh2
May 8 16:37:41 warpstone ftpd[34713]: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM 211.44.250.152,
Administrator
Basically, people are attemtpting to hack into my server often with a few
thousands of attempts each day. What measures can I take to stop these
attempts? Is there a way I can detect these attacks and automatically cut them
off? Are any of the security ports effective against this?
Thank you!
