Hi all, For several years now users of DenyHosts have been asking for an open source synchronization server, a central hub that would allow DenyHosts to coordinate and share malicious IP addresses. This has gotten more urgent due to a number of serious flaws in the current synchronization server[1] and the lack of response from the original DenyHosts developer.
I've created, in full cooperation with the current DenyHosts developers[2], an open source (AGPLv3) synchronization server [3]. The server has been working well in our initial tests and since it has just reached release 1.0 we will shortly invite a wider group of people to use the new server. Initially there will be fewer reports from the new sync server than you now receive from the legacy server, but we are convinced that the quality of the synchronization algorithm is higher and that, once enough people connect to the new server, it will better serve the denyhosts community. Once created, the address of the new sync server will we announced at http://denyhost.sourceforge.net/news.php. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the new sync server and the circumstances that led to its development. Kind regards Jan-Pascal [1] http://sourceforge.net/p/denyhosts/bugs/53/ [2] https://github.com/denyhosts/denyhosts/issues/35 [3] https://github.com/janpascal/denyhosts_sync ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
