NAME
DenyHosts - version: 2.6
DESCRIPTION
DenyHosts
is a python program that automatically blocks ssh attacks by
adding entries to /etc/hosts.deny.
DenyHosts
will also inform Linux administrators about offending hosts,
attacked users and suspicious logins.
Usage:
/usr/sbin/denyhosts [-f logfile | --file =logfile] [ -c configfile | --config =configfile] [-i | --ignore] [-n | --noemail] [--purge] [--migrate] [--daemon] [--sync] [--version]
--file :
The name of log file to parse
--ignore : Ignore last processed offset (start processing from beginning)
--noemail : Do not send an email report
--unlock : if lockfile exists, remove it and run as normal
--migrate : migrate your HOSTS_DENY file so that it is suitable for --purge
--purge : expire entries older than your PURGE_DENY setting
--daemon : run DenyHosts in daemon mode
--foreground : run DenyHosts in foreground mode
--sync : run DenyHosts synchronization mode
--version : Prints the version of DenyHosts and exits
Note: multiple --file args can be processed. If multiple files are provided, --ignore is implied
Note: in a debian system, the default running mode is daemon mode and the configuration file is /etc/denyhosts.conf
When run in --daemon mode the following flags are ignored:
--file , --purge , --migrate , --sync , --verbose
