security/sshguard no longer provides hosts/TCP Wrappers support by default as this was removed upstream. It is now a metaport which will allow you to select a backend. Further details can be found in the UPDATING entry.

Sshguard monitors services from their logging activity. It reacts to messages
|
|
about dangerous activity by blocking the source address with the local firewall.
|
|
|
|
Sshguard employs a clever parser that can recognize several logging formats at
|
|
once transparently (syslog, syslog-ng, metalog, multilog, raw messages), and
|
|
detects attacks for many services out of the box, including SSH, FreeBSD's
|
|
ftpd and dovecot. It can operate all the major firewalling systems, including
|
|
PF, netfilter/iptables, and IPFIREWALL/ipfw.
|
|
|
|
Sshguard has several relevant features like support for IPv6, whitelisting,
|
|
suspension, log message authentication. It is reliable, easy to set up and
|
|
demands very few resources to the system.
