pyauthanalyzer

I wrote this python script in two days for ssh-random-user scans like this. It automatically detects these attacks from logs, determines if it's big enough to report and then tries to figure out an e-mail address to report the scan.

Advantages

• No need for manual log monitoring
• No need for manual abuse reports
• Database for already reported IP addresses

Disadvantages

• IPv6 not currently supported
• If this script gets popular, ISPs may get flooded with abuse mail from actions of one scanner host. Some kind of global database might solve this problem

Todo

• Utilize mktemp
• Report used timezone
• IPv6

Note that the script needs to be configured. Read the instructions and make sure that the required commands are available in your system and for the user which you are running this script
