Why don't you have sshd listen on a different port? I was getting 1000's of ssh login attempts until I changed the port sshd was listening on. I've found script kiddies aren't smart enough to check alt ports.

Does anyone know of a utility that I can use with sshd to auto-block by IP if
there are more then N failed attempts in a row?

ie:

# grep "Invalid user" /var/log/auth.log| awk '{print $10}' | sort | uniq -c |
sort -nr
5268 140.113.210.174

4863 72.52.225.116

3586 116.14.255.141

2918 193.205.186.67

2033 219.76.75.6

1308 216.14.127.67

1059 61.72.106.71

983 93.123.14.9

691 202.75.221.197

649 59.77.33.139

381 201.80.15.207

269 190.10.255.73

212 81.252.254.189

181 123.151.32.12

150 211.21.47.50

139 196.219.63.3

128 200.111.64.171



This is for one day ... I'd like to be able to throttle so that after X Invalid
user attempts, the IP gets blocked ...

Possible?
