Hi, I've created a simple ebuild for BlockHosts, a tool that bans abusive hosts if they scan or probe your system services (such as sshd, ftpd, etc). It can be compared to denyhosts or fail2ban (which are already in portage), but I think BlockHosts is more powerful than its competitors. Reproducible: Always

Seriously, this does exact same thing as denyhosts. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 135106 ***
I searched for BlockHosts on the bgo but could not find anything. Anyway, BlockHost does not exactly what denyhosts does, it provides more features and is easier to configure. You can block ftpd attacks and many more while denyhosts is only capable of blocking ssh attacks. See also: http://tinyurl.com/2h5zdh (denyhosts <> blockhosts)

Created attachment 116458 [details] blockhosts-2.0.2.ebuild - final update Final update; blockhosts package is now available via the Sunrise overlay: http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/reviewed/app-admin/blockhosts/
Created attachment 189069 [details] blockhosts 2.4.0 - updated ebuild
This package will soon be masked in sunrise since it uses a deprecated python syntax (NEED_PYTHON). Please see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml for more information about developing python ebuilds. If you want too keep this ebuild alive, please join us on irc (#gentoo-sunrise, freenode) and provide an updated ebuild. Thanks.

Comment on attachment 278549 [details] BlockHosts 2.6.0 ebuild I've used this ebuild naming it blockhosts-2.6.0.ebuild and it works, it's the same you can find here http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/reviewed/app-admin/blockhosts/blockhosts-2.5.1.ebuild Sorry if it's not the correct way to post it ;) I've also created a wiki page, http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/BlockHosts to help setting up BlockHosts, it's mainly the same content of http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/BlockHosts but updated.

Hello, everyone. It seems that at least one ebuild related to this bug exists in the Sunrise overlay at the moment. However, I have to regretfully announce that after a long inactivity period the Sunrise project has been discontinued and the related overlay will be eventually removed. For this reason, I'd like to ask you to reevaluate the ebuilds and consider moving them. If you'd like to maintain a package from Sunrise in Gentoo, please take a look at our Proxy Maintainers [1] project. Please make sure to take ebuilds from the unreviewed developer Sunrise repository [2] rather than the -reviewed one, since the latter has not been updated for over a year. While at it, please note that: 1. Adding a package to Gentoo requires declaring yourself as an active maintainer for it. All bugs regarding the package will be assigned to you, and you will be expected to maintain it. 2. Some packages may not be suitable for addition anymore. While there's no strong rules that would prevent you from adding a package, it may be a bad idea to add old-unmaintained packages that will shortly result in a large number of bugs reported with no solution. If that is the case, please close the bug as RESOLVED/OBSOLETE to make it easier to find packages worth adding. 3. Some of the bugs were already closed as WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/... while the relevant ebuild was kept in Sunrise. If you disagree with the original decision, you still can add the ebuild via proxy-maint. 4. Pleaes note that many of the Sunrise ebuilds are old and may be buggy. If you decide to move them, please make sure to update/clean them up. The proxy-maint team will also review your ebuilds, therefore making sure they land in Gentoo in good quality. Once again, thank you for your contribution. We hope that you will still want to contribute to Gentoo, through proxy-maint or otherwise.

Note: I'm outta here. No longer working with Gentoo.
Thanks for letting us know.
