Re: FW: SSH Brute forcers

Thanks.

the development version of tattle incorporates this, actually... I had
gotten the suggestion from someone on the bugtraq list today, so I
began looking at it.  Its a good idea.  I'm actually going to use both
my whois method (which will be modified to use Net-Whois-IP using
reverse-lookups of the hostname.)

I hope to have a new version available by Monday (Its looking like a
busy weekend for me with family stuff, so I can't promise that.)

Cheers,
-C
