Re: [Sshguard-users] SSHguard for HTTP

always nice to see quests for collateral applications of SSHGuard.  
Thanks.
Please submit these lines to
http://sshguard.sourceforge.net/newattackpatt.php

we look in there to decide what to support in next releases (I'm not  
saying that
the post is off topic, we just want a reference in there).

Grep:
what for? The parser is already a grep itself. Some users hinted  
voodoo beliefs
of performance load with the parser. I don't know where they come  
from, but
forget it. The parser boils down to a state machine. At the first  
character which
does not comply with some pattern, the deal is over. When you filter  
with regular
expressions or grep, they have to scan through the entire line instead.

multiple addresses in log line: nothing. A regular expression could be  
confused,
the context-free parser SSHGuard uses is not.
