Well i dont want to destroy your happy time where you can feel superior, but if you would read the manpage of lastb you would notice that this approach wont work at all. lastb just shows successfull logins! not all the attempted logins....we discussed that before though, so better pay attention next time.
Holy crap, you must be the dumbest man alive. I really hope nobody has ever hired you for any security related work, if they have, I would advise them to get a second opinion or third party audit of any code provided. If you had scrolled down 20 LINES in the man page, you wold have seen "Lastb is the same as last, except that by default it shows a log of the file /var/log/btmp, which contains all the bad login attempts.", maybe you have bad eyesight, let me blow that text up for you: BAD LOGIN ATTEMPTS, ok? clear now? good. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
