Request: sshguard #152

Closed ElTopo closed 7 years ago

ElTopo commented 8 years ago

sshguard protects hosts from brute force attacks against SSH and other services, similar to denyhosts/fail2ban, but it's written in C thus it has tiny footprint and does not depend on python.

Official site: http://www.sshguard.net/ current release https://sourceforge.net/projects/sshguard/files/sshguard/1.7.0/ source code repo: https://bitbucket.org/sshguard/sshguard/

Thanks

Almost a year has passed, but sshguard package added: 7b48ee8122401bc52659dfed0d4f6efb9ae9c1b4 For some reason sshguard 1.7.1 refuses to be daemonized by start-stop-daemon or daemonize utilities on my test machine, so as a workaround it's being detached using shell.

To launch sshguard daemon, run /opt/etc/init.d/S15sshguard start, and /opt/etc/init.d/S15sshguard stop to stop it. Daemon loads /opt/etc/sshguard/whitelist file on start (see https://www.sshguard.net/docs/whitelist/)
