Brandon needed some hints in what to do.

&gt; &gt; To be honest with you, the ssh port 22 will be bombarded by brute force
&gt; &gt; attacks all day everyday. One way to monitor this port is to enable
&gt; &gt; logging from iptables. Just use the -j LOG using the &quot;syn&quot; as a trigger.
&gt; &gt; Also, snort would be useful here along with Acid that will log to a
&gt; &gt; database and select from the database using php. 
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; My solution, however, was to NOT run on port 22. I run ssh on a non-
&gt; &gt; standard port and haven't had a single connect in 5 years to that port.
&gt; &gt; I still use iptables to log any syn packet however.
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; Hope this helps.
