 # Updates
-- 7th July 2025: Added a count for the number of table entries - pf sets a maximum and it would be handy to know if I'm bumping along that number.
+- 7th July 2025: Added a count for the number of table entries - pf sets a maximum and it would be handy to know if I'm bumping along that number. Starting removing the SSH Brute force code - SSHGuard is in OpenBSD packages and already blocks SSH bruteforcers but can be configured for other services.
 - 1st July 2025: Renamed "HAIL_MARY" to "CLOUD_BRUTEFORCE_MITIGATION". Read [Catechism of the Catholic Church](https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM) before complaining.
 - 19th June 2025: Updated the _AGENT to the latest Windows Firefox as some sites were rejecting download attempts based on an outdated user agent.
