!!Preventing Brute Force SSH Attacks
----



If you will always be connecting to your server from the same IP address, you can firewall off port 22 to everything EXCEPT your own IP address.

(:table border=1 bgcolor=#cccc99 cellspacing=0 :)
(:cellnr:)
[@
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s your-ip-address --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 --dport 22 -j DROP
]@
(:tableend:)

%red%Then run 'iptables-save'%%


''Hide from automated attackers. ''

To configure this, just change the Port line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart ssh

(:table border=1 bgcolor=#cccc99 cellspacing=0 :)
(:cellnr:)
Port 23022
(:tableend:)


In /etc/ssh/sshd_config, you can specify a list of allowed users like this:

(:table border=1 bgcolor=#cccc99 cellspacing=0 :)
(:cellnr:)
AllowUsers itm admin [email protected] [email protected]
(:tableend:)

%blue%This will allow users 'itm' and 'admin' to log in from anywhere, and root is only allowed to log in from those two IP addresses.%%


''Use tools like DenyHosts or Fail2ban''

''Use 'hashlimit' in 'iptables':''

(:table border=1 bgcolor=#cccc99 cellspacing=0 :)
(:cellnr:)
iptables -I INPUT -m hashlimit -m tcp -p tcp --dport 23032 --hashlimit 1/min
--hashlimit-mode srcip --hashlimit-name ssh -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
(:tableend:)

This rule limits one connection to the SSH port from one IP address per minute.
