BlockHosts 2.0.5 (Default branch) – BlockHosts is a script to record how many times a
local system is attacked, based on configurable
scanning of system logs for sshd or other
services. When a particular IP address exceeds a
configured number of failed login attempts, that
IP address is blocked using hosts.allow files, or
by using null-routing, or by using packet
filtering. An email notification facility is also
available.

Changes:
This release updates the vsftpd rule and adds an –enable-patterns option to enable specific rules at run-time. Email notification is now sent on both adds and deletes of host IP addresses, and the source distribution includes the test routines.
