  • Integration of all network configuration tools. Allowing the user to set the proxy according to the network his connected to, instead of doing this separetely everytime.

  • sshdfilter (http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~greg/sshdfilter/) a great piece of software reducing ssh attacks to almost zero. With sshdfilter installed, taking each attack on a case by case basis:

    • 347 attempts becomes 0 attempts - first attemped guess was for a non-existant user, so was instantly blocked.
    • 306 attempts becomes 0 attempts - same reason, non-existant user.
    • 115 attempts becomes 1 attempt - first guess was for root and is allowed a default of 3 chances, the second guess was for a non-existant user and so was blocked anyway.
    • 115 attempts becomes 1 attempt - same as previous.
    • 127 attempts becomes 3 attempts - many initial guesses for root account, so sshdfilter blocks after the first 3 failed attempts.
    • 18 attempts becomes 0 attempts - first attempted guess was for a non-existant user, so was blocked instantly.
    • 554 attempts becomes 3 attempts - many initial guesses for root accont, so sshdfilter blocks after the first 3 failed attempts.
    • 107 attempts becomes 1 attempt - first guess was for a valid user (nobody), second guess was for a non-existant user so was blocked.
    • 9 attempts becomes 0 attempts - first guess was for a non-existant user so was blocked instantly.
    • 52 attempts becomes 3 attempts - many initial guesses for root accont, so sshdfilter blocks after the first 3 failed attempts.
