I am in the middle of writing a script that takes the ip addresses that are trying to brute force access to my servers, as detected by the sshdfilter script, and 'shuns' them on my Cisco firewall. I was contemplating appending the ip addresses to an html page in real time and was wondering if anyone else would be interested in the data?


Since I imagine the data would be short-lived (hours to days), why not put those addresses into DNS and create a DNSBL out of it? It might be a useful complement to the Spamhaus XBL (http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/)
