I have the following configured to drop connections after four ssh
connections from the same address in the space of 60 seconds, using
ipt_state:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent \
--set --name SSH --rsource
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent \
--update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 --rttl --name SSH --rsource -j DROP
Cheers,
Paul
