SSH Filter and Server Security Apps

In simple one line sshdfilter is an application that will help you block the ssh attacks. Its a good little application easy to configure. I and my colleagues had already written the complete steps to install and configure the sshdfilter at the following URL:- SSHDFilter. Please go through the article and let us know if there is something you would like to add or would like to know.

we had this little app installed on our company’s internal servers and found it quite good. But honestly speaking, I would suggest if you want a good security for your server, i would also suggest the same common apps that most webhost guys suggest and sshdfilter is not one of them, The first thing is the Firewall and i recommend APF (Advanced Policy Firewall) it uses iptables internally, but is a handy app for any sysadmin.

The second and a very important recommended app is the BFD (Brute Force Detection) It Detects and blocks brute force attacks.
