Hi Philippe,
There is a very useful software package DenyHosts at
http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/
See also the reviews listed there.
We have been using this system for about a year (still with version 2.2
- with possible minor bugs that take a bit longer to shut out a hacking
IP than specified). The system has been very reliable, as verified by
our own automated tracker for login attempts.
A newer version 2.5 is available.
With best wishes,
Dr. Wolfram Jarisch
