Hello All, I had problems with the security server, the server is frequently attacked using bruteforce attacks. Is there an application that can perform automatic blocking when there are failed login to the ports smtp, pop3 port, and others?
I am currently using CentOS 5.5 in some servers Thanks in advanced.......
Google something called fail2ban :) --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel (bberry mail)

fail2ban will at least do some. And it works well, right out of the box, er, package. <g>

You can also do some amount of work with the pam mod_access and mod_tally modules.

I looked at that latter, and the one thing is that if blocks an account after enough failures, even if they show the right credentials... but it lets them keep trying, where fail2ban puts in a temporary firewall rule (configurable, but by default it drops it after, um, I think 2 days), and the rule is DROP, so they can't even try. And it doesn't fill your logfiles.....

This is very simple and works great. Have done it on about 5 servers now.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name SSH
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 --rttl --name SSH -j LOG --log-prefix 'SSH attack: '
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 --rttl --name SSH -j DROP

If you want an complete IDS then you could go for OSSEC (http://www.ossec.net/). You can configure it to scan whatever log file you like and block the ip that generate an error message in that log file. While it could be a little overhead to tweak, it can achieve remarkable results.

Why don't you try the Smoothwall firewall appliance and its Guardian Active Response (GAR)-mod, and set this up around your perimeter?
GAR is able to add temporary firewall rules to drop connection attempts/attacks under a configurable period of time and works in conjunction with Snort.
