  3. masscan

    TCP port scanner, spews SYN packets asynchronously, scanning entire Internet in under 5 minutes.

  4. endlessh

    SSH tarpit that slowly sends an endless banner

    You can reduce the noise a lot by moving ssh to a non standard port. Security through obscurity isn't actually security, but it will reduce the number of attempts you receive. Another thing I like to do is put Endlessh on the standard port 22. That way as bots go by they will get stuck or at least slow down on that connection.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
