How to deny a range ip addresses on ssh?

[IceHosting]

Hello,

We have a lot of hacking on our ssh port from *.ipt.aol.com users. So we want to block all ips with domain *.ipt.aol.com. How could we do this?

Thanks

Roland

You could probably do it with a firewall, such as APF.

/etc/hosts.deny, Google is your friend :)

How could we do this?You can change Shell Port from the default 22 to something else. To restrict connection to SSH, you can do what quckweb suggested. For more info on hosts.deny / hosts.allow go to: http://www.itc.virginia.edu/unixsys/sec/hosts.html

Thanks,

Domain is hopefully now blocked :)
