very soon i am getting some static ips for my cable home connections,

currently i have 1 dynamic ip.


Im using pf to block ssh brute force attempts and its working

splendedly. however now i have this pf table full of ips and nice logs

indicating hack attempts via ssh not to mention other services they

are trying to breach. since i have all these nice logs and data, what

can i do about it, other than blocking it. my main concern is that of

someone DoSing my connection which will only be 2up and wont support

any sort of a planned DoS will lag and congest with to much "evil"

traffic.


i have "some" experiance with abuse departments i know the usual first

step is to report to a provider however i also know many providers are

unresponsive, so what can i do beyond that?


any opinions welcome, thank you
