Here is a perl script I wrote to scan my exim and apache logs for miscreants
to ban. It doesn't support $time or $number of login attempts, because I
don't allow 'three strikes', one dumb move and your banned. The length of the
ban lasts until the iptables rules are flushed and reloaded, which you can
either script, or do manually.
Anyway, I've commented the lines you need to change for your specific purpose,
and my script checks 3 logfiles where you will probably only need one, so
I've edited it as such. Hopefully you can edit this to your purpose else,
just give you some ideas of where to start. This script does assume that
iptables has a user-defined chain 'banned' with a policy of 'DROP'....

Now set this up as a cron task (I run every 15 minutes)
Hope this helps...
