[mythtv-users] Semi-OT: Blocking Brute Force SSH attacks

[Jay R. Ashworth]

If you've tunneled SSH traffic through to your Mythbox, you're likely
the target of brute-force SSH attacks, some of which might well work.

The most elegant solution I've found so far is here:

This won't block attacks that "know" about a specific bug in your sshd,
so you need to stay updated, but for the dictionary attacks it will
work nicely, and it'll sure keep your logs from growing without
bounds...
