== Penalty for invalid user ==
 
 
 
'''sshdfilter''' has a penalty for invalid users.  In other words, invalid users may get 2 attempts while invalid password for valid users get 5 attempts. How can that be done in fail2ban?
 
 
 
A convincing argument against doing this says that it lets an attacker know whether or not a username is valid, and thus dramatically decreases the search space of a brute-force attack.

OpenSSH (Open Secure Shell) is a set of free software computer programs providing encrypted communication sessions over a computer network using the SSH protocol. It was created as an open alternative to the proprietary Secure Shell software. The project is led by Theo de Raadt from Calgary, Alberta in Canada.
