Hi All, As an active denyhosts user for a long time now (I guess 3-4 years) I find it way more intuitive and easy to setup than fail2ban, and I hope we can find a way of getting it into a debian release in the future... probably a long way away as stretch has since frozen... I guess buster at this rate? :)
The main benefits I've had with it over fail2ban is mainly the ease of syncing multiple bans to a central hub. It's pretty straightforward to setup, especially since I've been toying with Jan's denyhosts-server project. It's pretty cool to be able to visualise when attacks are happening, where they're coming from and the other various metrics and the graphs that come with it. I think with a bit of love from Jan and myself, we can probably get denyhosts up to a polished standard with a majority of tickets resolved. I'm not python expert but I can do what I can to help, and have plenty of infrastructure and automation knowledge to configure systems if needed. Looking through some of the closed tickets mentioned, a number appear to have already been fixed upstream, or patches provided either at the github.com repo, the Sourceforge ticket or in the emails tickets but not followed up on in the package upstream. Thanks Regards
