Pfft. If you had a half-decent password, the box was always secure. If you really care, perhaps roll something like this (which I have in my /etc/firewall.user) into the default configuration: for PROTO in iptables ip6tables ; do for TABLE in forwarding_rule input_rule; do $PROTO -A $TABLE -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name SSH --rcheck --hitcount 4 --seconds 60 -j LOG --log-prefix "SSH_BRUTE " $PROTO -A $TABLE -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name SSH --update --hitcount 4 --seconds 60 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset $PROTO -A $TABLE -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name SSH --set -j RETURN done done You have the same "problem" with external access via HTTPS, surely? Are you planning to ban password access to that too?
