I am currently using DenyHosts, but like blockhosts, it is not quite
the same as sshdfilter. sshdfilter parses the output of sshd and uses
iptables to block hosts. Both DenyHosts and blockhosts parse the
system log file and use /etc/hosts.deny to block hosts.
My sense is that sshdfilter's approach is (somewhat) better.
