Hookem-Banem Overview

Built to react fast in server farms environments (ISPs, HSPs, organisations...) Hookem-Banem is a log monitoring system which monitors logs being sent to a central server (syslog, file...) and on detection of malicious intent (repeated login failures, many failed RCPT commands, bad HTTP requests... any other repeating condition you want to monitor for) it broadcasts a ban command to all servers in the cluster so the clients running on each machine can drop/reject any future connections from the attacker for a limited time (and on continued repeats even longer periods)

You can just monitor sshd logs for individual matching lines or using the built in pattern matching (generated line X then generated line Y), Hookem-Banem can be configured to only block specific attack attempts.
