Thus spake Adam Stroud (adam at thegeeklord.com) [11/04/06 23:49]:
: I have been using pf (on an OpenBSD box) to automatically block 
: offending IP address using pf and it seems to work well for me.  
: Basically when an attackers tries to connect x number of times in y 
: minutes, I have the firewall set up to block the automatically.

Ask yourselves: is this /really/ a good idea?

(And at that, I won't continue this off-topic discussion.)
