  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • blocklist

    This package contains a library that can be used by network daemons to communicate with a packet filter via a daemon to enforce opening and closing ports dynamically based on policy. (by zoulasc)

  • Possibly the best tool in this space is blacklistd / blocklistd, which just exposes some reporting APIs and hooks them directly in sshd, rather than trying to parse failed logins out of logs. That said, meh.

  • Fail2Ban

    Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • easy-admin

    Scripts for easy system administration

  • while it is not the best, you can try my working sane default for sshd_config and sshd_config.

    Each settings in the config files have annotations and details and some have additional links detailing why.

    Even has a bash script to let you create these config files (defaults to a subdirectory, not into /etc/ssh)
