Stupid SSH tricks

[Wil McGilvery]

I have these idiots who are using a brute force attach on ssh to gain access to the system. They try over and over again with different ip addresses.

Is there any way to block an ip address after it has failed a certain number of attempts or do I have write my own script for this?

Regards,
