As of the advantages, I don't really know as I have never used denyhosts before. You should check each one's features and decide yourself. BFB needs perl to run, while denyhosts seems to require python. Both thools seem to be providing exeternal database with denied clients. Note, that you can use BFB to protect other services as well (you only need to add new regexps to the script and modify syslog.conf appropriately). Hi stewe,

Will I profit from installing this? Thank you for your answer Have a nice day Hi danger,

You can download it from http://danger.rulez.sk/projects/bruteforceblocker/bruteforceblocker-iptables.tar.bz2 and give it a shot.

My servers are mainly Debian Linux these days and if you think it'd be useful I'd be happy to make an IPtables/IPchains compatible version. Thanks for the good work! Excellent utility..
