A script to automatically blacklist illegal ssh attempts
Authored by: tamás on Sep 16, '04 10:52:00PM

After reading the various replies, I second the recommendation of kevinv to use keys as that is definitely the best practice method of enhancing ssh security. The other methods may create additional hurdles for the would-be attacker, but they are prone to breakage if the legitimate clients' addresses change, they require too much maintenance, and they are the wrong tool for the job.
