Hi Marcus,

If you come across this program again would I be able to steal it off of you, it will implement it as suggested before using pf state table tracking but your program sounds very interesting and I would still like to see it.

Thank you everyone for your answers.

Thanks,

Charlie

I've written a small program about 5 years ago. It was a daemon that
implemented a
 service similar to  "port knocking" but entirely in user level,
calling pfctl by exec()
system calls to insert/remove remote IP addresses in a pf table holding machines
able to connect to the ssh daemon via port 22.

It was a ugly hack but it worked for us. I shall have a backup copy somewhere on
my powerbook at home...

Hi,

I have noticed that people constantly try to brute force sshd on my openbsd
box, on my server I use fail2ban to prevent this and wondered if there is a
similar solution for openbsd.

Regards,
