BlockHosts is a Python system tool for Linux that blocks IP Addresses based on information gleaned from scanning system logs. It updates a hosts blockfile (such as hosts. deny) automatically, to block IP addresses. It will also expire previously blocked addresses based on age of last failed login attempt; this keeps the blockfile size manageable. In addition to hosts.

- BlockHosts is a Python system tool for Linux that blocks IP Addresses based on information gleaned from scanning system logs. It updates a hosts blockfile (such as hosts. deny) automatically, to block IP addresses. It will also expire previously blocked addresses based on age of last failed login attempt; this keeps the blockfile size manageable. In addition to hosts. allow TCP wrappers blocking, it can also execute iptables or ip route commands to block all TCP/IP network traffic from an address, so all services, even those that do not run under TCP wrappers, can be protected. Also available: an email notification facility, as well as an RSS feed exporting the list of blocked addresses. Contributed extensions include web scripts for intrusion source and location mashup displaying a geographic map of the blocked IP addresses. The patterns used to scan system logs are extendable; out-of-the-box it comes with patterns to recognize OpenSSH, ProFTPd, vsftpd, Pure-FTPd, and a few other services. All these use TCP wrappers, but blockhosts can also be extended to match patterns in non-TCP-wrappers services such as the web server Apache HTTP Server, by blocking IP addresses using null routing or packet filtering techniques.
