What is Brute Force Blocker

Brute Force Blocker is a long-running OpenBSD-derived community feed of IP addresses observed performing SSH brute-force attacks against participating hosts. The collection mechanism is a small reporting daemon that watches authentication logs and submits offending IPs to the central project; the published list is the union of all participants' reports over a rolling window. The feed has a reputation for low false positives because the contributing population skews toward administrators of internet-exposed BSD and Linux servers — the exact environments where SSH brute force is most disruptive. It is indexed here as a stable, decade-old record for SSH abuse research.
