I see that some people try to access my host, even if they are not me.

Crazy, right?

Here is a small statistic in less than a year, on how many attackers fail2ban managed to ban, when trying to bruteforce this website via ssh:

[root@ciplogic ~]# iptables -L -n | grep REJECT | wc -l
1633

Awesome!

So if you don't have it yet, and run some linux, definitelly install it.

If you use CentOS just do:

[root@ciplogic ~]# yum install fail2ban

Happy admining.
