Hi All,

I am looking for a good tool to detect brute-force and dictionary
attacks on user accounts on a Linux system . The tool should also
have the intelligence to differntiate between user mistakes and
actual brute-force/dictionary attacks and reduce the false
positives. SuSE/RedHat included security tools are not helping in
this case .

Please , anyone knows any third party security tool or any
opensource security tool which solves my problem ?

Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth,CISSP
