In my auth log I see alot of bruit force attempts to

Thanks,

Hey there,
A couple of things you could try. I believe there is a
port that watches log files, utilizing that you could
create a script to add the IP to your firewall rules
then after a time remove it.

The other way is to use snort_inline and see how that
works.

Hope that helps.
