Hi Paulo,
Just replied to Brian, he wrote a code called timelox, it's been posted on
the list, I'll check it out later when I get a chance, but seems to do just
that. Talk to you later. Thanks,
Regards,
Dan

Subject: Re: SSH scans...
I have gotten these attacks before and did some research on it, its a
SSH bruteforce program released a few months ago that can be located at:
http://www.k-otik.com/exploits/08202004.brutessh2.c.php
Something that would be nice is some feature in ssh that would only
allow 3 login atempts from 1 IP, if they get it wrong 3 times to
automaticly block any connections from that ip.

Hi Guys,
Don't know whether this is the right list, but need to ask if others have
the same entries in their logs for the past number of months. Let me take a
step back, I maintain a number of networks on different IP ranges and they
are all being probed by what looks like a tool, or maybe it is the same
group/script. The originating computers range from open proxies to owned
boxes and there are two distinct patterns I've seen so far. The following
scan is a recent example where the root/password from x.x.x.x: 59 Time(s)
caught my attention the first time a while back, and still getting the same
scans on a daily basis:
