Parent article: Distributed brute force ssh attacks

but the attacking IP address doesn't try again for 60 min, so it's not affected by your block.

unless you say you are locking the _user_ out from any IP address for 2 min.

if that's the case an attacker will just DOS you so that you can't login to the box yourself.
