    Nice work

    DenyHosts is also good for preventing automated SSH dictionary attacks

    If I see it right, this will only add rules. You should from time to time remove them again, most script kiddies do not have static IP addresses and you will lock out valid visitors...

    Yep, you're right. Except, when the server reboots--which is usually every few months or so, the rules *should* drop anyway :D

    Nice script, I am working on the same thing.
    However I run snortsam and after awhile it will delete the iptables chain also, so script kiddies and people on dialup won't inherit bad ip addresses.
