Shamefully, I must confess to getting fooled into clicking on yet another Ken Hess piece. Stay calm, and please avoid. |

I read the teaser and laughed.
I have PSAD enabled on my firewall so anyone that so much as starts a portscan gets an automatic 24 hour ip block.
I am now using portknocking to protect my ssh port, so there's nothing there to brute force. :P Oh sure, there's always a way someone can attack you. But there are plenty of ways to make it difficult enough that most would-be attackers wouldn't want to expend the effort. |

[admission] Breaking My Oath ... [/admission] First the title caught my eye, because yes, it speaks the truth. Then I saw those foul words of attribution: Ken Hess to be properly repelled. So I knew there was Nothing There. Time to move on. Finally I saw Linux Magazine and I was saddened. What can I say? Well I guess it's back to the oath of silence. Your Buddy Txt. |

Shame on you, you prejudiced folk. Ken Hess is like Roy S. They write garbage at their own site but decent articles elsewhere. This article is a good tutorial on using DenyHosts. I've been using it for years and it works well. |

I almost clicked ... almost. |

Sander, You are usually a credible, reliable source ... can we still trust you? Hans used to say something similar, however, uncharacteristically he could not cite a real article. Have you too decided to take up Shilling as a side line? Stop it! I cannot stand the competition. There have been too many bounced checks without others trying to take a portion of my puny business. So step aside and let someone like me with no ethics or scruples perform the tasks Business needs. You are a skilled, talented technical person, so stay honest and please stay out my Pig sty. Your Buddy Txt. |

No this is an article by Ken Hess that is actually worth the read. It's a very good article. I don't know why he bothers writing such cr@p on the other blog site. |

If it were his normal, uh, stuff, it'd be on his own site, not Linux Mag. |
