Notice:

I USUALLY WORK OFF OF MASTER WITHOUT CREATING NEW BRANCHES(A BAD PRACTICE I KNOW), SO IF YOU CLONE AND DO NOT FORK THEN ANY BUGS YOU ENCOUNTER... YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

Recently I receieved E-mail notifications around 5am from someone using/testing this software. He didn't check/know that this app sends the notifications to MY E-mail([email protected]) which is set in the crontab. Meanwhile he is probably ranting about how much of an idiot I am and how my code base doesn't work.

I work from my laptop which is running Gentoo on i3wm. Sometimes I use my work computer on a lunch break which runs Debian stable. Sometimes things will work on my Gentoo box but will not work on my Debian install. I catch these "cases" when I am working from my work computer.

Important:

The notify with ui option is broken with Python3. There seems to be an issue with the ctypes system library. See issue #22.

About:

SSHMonitor monitors incoming ssh requests and will notify you on failed, successful or banned(IP via iptables/sshgaurd) attempts whether they're successful or not. PLEASE FORK INSTEAD OF CLONE THIS REPO. I would greatly appreciate it! Also, you are going to need to setup an outgoing E-mail server in order for the program to work.

This program was written using Python version 2.7 but should work for Python versions 3.x as well.

[anthony@ghost SSHMonitor]$ sudo python setup.py install

^^ NOTE: Check the Crontab and make sure it was actually created.

Website: https://pypi.org/project/sshmonitor/

Installation command:

pip install sshmonitor

NOTE: Patch is no longer needed for newer versions of python, namely 3.x.x.
