A few weeks ago Clifton and Tim did some unreal python scripting that assessed and dropped ssh brute force break-in attempts. Watching PUG, the Python Users Group, at work, was impressive. Along those lines, I just learned of a very nice tool at Sourceforge

fail2ban.sourceforge.net

that can be easily customized to create a drop rule after X amount of break-in attempts.
