Description

SSHGuard is an open source application designed to protect computer systems from malicious or intrusive connections over the internet. It works by monitoring incoming connections and automatically blocking or restricting access to suspicious addresses. SSHGuard is designed to protect a wide range of services, including SSH, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and web servers. It is capable of recognizing most attack patterns, such as port scanning, brute force attacks, and dictionary attacks. SSHGuard uses an adaptive blacklisting system to quickly recognize and block attackers, and can also alert administrators of suspicious activity. It is an important part of any system-level security solution and is an effective way of preventing the exploitation of vulnerable systems.
