Hi, guys Recently I was looking through my logs when I got pissed off (again) by the big number of lines showing something like 'sshd: auth. error: unknown user "XXX" from "some IP address"'. I wrote a script which automatically sets all connections from those IP addresses to be dropped. Next I decided to change "-j DROP" with "-j TARPIT" and I realized that gentoo-sources doesn't provide the netfilter target "TARPIT".
My question: what is the best way get this iptables module working w/o diverting too much from the official Gentoo installation. I mean the normal way is to use patch-o-matic to patch iptables source and vanilla kernel source, then build and install. I have the feeling that it is not exactly the right thing to with Gentoo. Any advices would be much appreciated. -- Best regards, Daniel -- [email protected] mailing list
