sshdfilter automatically blocks ssh brute force attacks by reading sshd log output in real time and adding iptables rules based on authentication failures.

Block rules are created by logging on with an invalid user name, or wrongly guessing the password for an existing account.

Block rules are removed after a week to maintain a small list of blocks. It also comes with a LogWatch filter.

What's New in This Release:
Support for CentOS 4.3, Slackware, and Debian Sid was added.
A config loading bug where SSHDFILTERRC was ignored was fixed.
Man page installation was fixed in install.pl.
Typos in the documentation were corrected.
