I find security vulnerabilities in the connected devices that we use every day. I’m the VP of Research at Armis — ask me anything!

• Login-Shield

  2 35 5.1 Shell

  Your first line of defense against Internet bots, hacks and probes. Login-Shield is a small set of bash scripts that implements an iptables/ipset blocklist of known sources of hack activity. Works great as a compliment with/without fail2ban. Statistics have shown it blocks 90+% of most system probes and attacks on login ports.

Obviously your focus is on finding vulnerabilities, but how important would you say is stopping unauthorized people from even having a chance to find/exploit vulnerabilities in the first place? There are systems like like Fail2Ban and Login-Shield that use IP-based blacklisting that in my opinion can protect us from the vulnerabilities we aren't even aware of. How important is this in your plan of protection?

• Fail2Ban

  49 10,501 8.8 Python

  Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
