This or similar software is basically required is you have an SSH server accessible over the internet

Don't make the mistake I did and assume that your server is too small or inconsequential to get hacked - a hacking attempt is a matter of "if" not when, but turning off password Auth and adding fail2ban will get you locked up tight

These days I would recommend CrowdSec over fail2ban.

[–] ZiemekZ@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Does CrowdSec have abuseipdb.com integration (and endorsement)?

Old software that can actually be superceded by some newer tech if someone feels like doing so.

Easy to use, lots of documentation. 10/10

Suricata + fail2ban has served me well
