Fail 2 ban works well also.

It was probably Martin having a bad night :p Seriously, here are a few notes I
had regarding responses to ssh type DOS attacks:
# Blocking ssh attacks
/usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -m recent --name sshattack --set
/usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name sshattack
--update --seconds 60 --hitcount 6 -j LOG --log-prefix 'SSH attack: '
/usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name sshattack
--update --seconds 60 --hitcount 6 -j REJECT
This will block all further syns from an IP address starting on the sixth port
22 connection within 60 seconds. It takes 60 seconds of absolute quiet from that
same ip address (or a reboot) to make the block go away. Kills a LOT of brute
force ssh attacks. I've also used this both against web statistics spammers and
email DOSers with good results.
Another:
I believe that this is it:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m recent --name sshattack --update
--seconds 240 --hitcount 2 -j REJECT
