Block attackers when their cumulative attack score exceeds threshold. Most attacks have a score of 10.

type = types.nullOr types.int;
Blacklist an attacker when its score exceeds threshold. Blacklisted addresses are loaded from and added to blacklist-file.

blocktime = mkOption {

Block attackers for initially blocktime seconds after exceeding threshold. Subsequent blocks increase by a factor of 1.5.
sshguard unblocks attacks at random intervals, so actual block times will be longer.

Remember potential attackers for up to detection_time seconds before resetting their score.

Whitelist a list of addresses, hostnames, or address blocks.
