[TriLUG] Fw: TALUG: Preventing SSH Dictionary Attacks With DenyHosts

[jonc]

I've been using DenyHost for awhile now and I love it. I modified it so
that it deny's all services from any host that attempts the ssh attack.
Amazingly enough that seems to have also cut down on my virus traffic...
hmmm could there be a correlation here?
