I have permitRootLogin set to NO, and I use strong passwords, but
can I just add these IP addresses to hosts.deny?
and if so how would I set that up

I had so many problems with the 218.0.0.0/24 domain that I totally
blocked the entire domain. I believe this domain is in Korea.

Another that bears blocking completely is 64.0.0.0/24 as its 100%
spam of the non-edible variety. Ditto for 66.0.0.0/24.
Anybody else have any more to contribute?
Whoa, buddy. The entire 64.0.0.0/8 is NOT a spam source. We have a
/19 in that space and we're not spammers.
