Dear all, I have written an article how to block cracker using denyhosts. This is the excerpts: Internet is a cruel world. Server owner that is always connected to the internet knows this. Crackers are always trying to hack into our server day and night, 24 hours, 365 days non-stop. How do we secure our server? There are many ways to do it, one of them is using denyhosts. With it, we can block those crackers after certain amount of failed login attempts.
