DenyHosts is a firewall that is built for the Linux OS and is probably the easiest way to secure a server. This program prevents unauthorized access to the server by blocking an IP address after a set number of unsuccessful attempts have been made.

==Installing DenyHosts==
<p>
Currently, as of writing this wiki page (12/01/13), the easiest way to install DenyHosts is to use aptitude by typing in the following command.
<pre>
aptitude install denyhosts
</pre>
</p>
==Important Files==
<p>
There are two important files in DenyHosts in order to make sure that it runs properly. The location of both of these files can be found in [[This Is Your Brain On Informatics: Common Pathnames|common pathnames]].
