[BlueOnyx:11954] Re: Blocking brute force SSH login attempts

[Greg Kuhnert]

DFIX is a free product available from the new combined Compass / BlueOnyx / Solarspeed stores. It blocks SSH brute force attacks and much more. To get DFIX, you will need to register to one of the stores if you have not already done so, and "purchase" the free bundle for $0. You can then install via NewLinQ.

Note: Anyone who has previously had an account with either Solarspeed or Compass, you should first try to reset your password in the new store - and then connect to NewLinQ using the instructions at the link below. It is important for all clients to perform this step to get access to any updates/patches for any of your purchases.

The instructions to connect to NewLinQ are here. http://www.compassnetworks.com.au/delivery

Regards,
Greg.
