@seatek Heh ... nooooo. I'm an absolute dick about it. 24h ban time by default, all ports (I drop ALL THE PACKETZ). Then I start scaling time for repeat offenders.

I jut ssh in from another server (IP in general) and unban my IP.

@elfin honestly, I can't blame you one little bit. It's astonishing how many things are clawing at our stuff 24/7 when you look.

@seatek When people engage me about "hacking", I grab a terminal and:

tail -n 100 -f /var/log/secure | grep -i "fail\|unknown"

And watch it scroll.

"This is what the internet looks like."

Then I explain dictionary attacks and how some fucker just points a script at an IP range and goes to the pub or whatnot. 24/7/365 (holidays being worst as they think nobody is watching, and it's a good guess).
