In this case, your awk statement checks that argument $6 is
"Illegal" (which it is) and argument $9 is "from" (which it is). So it
takes $10 and prints it (in this case, mars.)

If you check $10 to look like an IP address, I set my username to
"bikermice from 217.14.64.1", you're going to blacklist 217.14.64.1
because it is a valid IP.

So again... Some of you guys need to go back and read before you post....

ok, you're right, let's go back and let's read again:

You mention (from the attached mail, you've written):

Nov 27 16:31:21 local sshd[67010]: Illegal user dd from 213.134.128.227
awk '($5=="Illegal"||$6=="Illegal")&&$9=="from"{print $10}'

Note that there is no "NF" in this line.


awk 'NF<=10&&($6=="nvalid"||$7=="user")&&$9=="from"{print $10}'


you're fixing your script when someone shows a security hole, that's a
good practice. But don't insult the men who mention the
vulnerabilities... They are actually helping you, because you're improving
your script thanks to them.



Once you try a moronic name insertion it makes the columns more than 10 rows invalidating it.
Is this a difficult concept to understand? Set your host to whatever you would like, its been
discussed and resolved. Is there anything else? Perhaps I should re-write TCP into the script
to ensure no one ever spoofs again.
