+SSHblock is intended to dynamically and automatically stop SSH-based
+dictionary attacks by blocking any IP address that fails an SSH
+login too many times too quickly, and automatically unblocks it
+after a while.
+
+You may change the pre-defined configuration of SSHblock in
+sshblock.pl.tpl (whitelist IP, email, and hostname).
