I block that server from all but port 25. It will password guess until
the cows come home.  I had no idea it was associated with shodan, but
now all the more reason to block it.

#novogara
ipfw table 1 add  89.248.160.0/21
ipfw table 1 add  89.248.169.0/24
ipfw table 1 add  89.248.170.0/23
ipfw table 1 add  89.248.172.0/23
ipfw table 1 add  89.248.174.0/24
ipfw table 1 add  93.174.88.0/21
ipfw table 1 add  94.102.48.0/20

There is a snowshoe type botnet password guesser hosted at Digital
Ocean. Being a customer of them, I complained. I stopped for a few
days, but it back again. They password guess in sequence.

138.68.90.75
139.59.158.92
207.154.221.122

Also the "141" block of the University of Michigan. I have contacted
them to see if they are doing "research", but I get no reply.

ipfw table 3 add 141.211.0.0/16
ipfw table 3 add 141.212.0.0/16
ipfw table 3 add 141.213.0.0/16
ipfw table 3 add 141.214.0.0/16

Mind you, I can block these ports because I'm the only customer of my
server. 

Yes I know fail2ban is the way to go, but my cellphone creates some
chatter that would trigger an aggressive fail2ban.
