RE: MORE SSH Hacking: heads-up <- TCP Wrappers

Well, I run snort (http://www.snort.org/) and guardian scripts (http://www.chaotic.org/guardian/) to control extensive hacking on SSH. Because I have no guest or test or user accounts on my system, the IDS take notice and guardian will modify the firewall (iptables) and cut off the attack for a predetermined amount of time. I too cannot selectively allow specific external IP addresses, so the IDS does it's job to look for strange SSH login attempts. As always, keep your OpenSSH packages up-to-date and take care when setting accounts/passwords.

There is nothing really good we can do against it. Seems all the hosts are already owned and try to enter more systems. Alexander
