Semi-OT: Blocking Brute Force SSH attacks

If you've tunneled SSH traffic through to your Mythbox, you're likely
the target of brute-force SSH attacks, some of which might well work.

The most elegant solution I've found so far is here:

http://www.la-samhna.de/library/brutessh.html#5

This won't block attacks that "know" about a specific bug in your sshd,
so you need to stay updated, but for the dictionary attacks it will
work nicely, and it'll sure keep your logs from growing without
bounds...

Cheers,
