Tallow is not working

Open HeXis-YS opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

Tallow no longer functions correctly on modern Clear Linux installations due to outdated assumptions about the SSH service structure. By default, Tallow is configured to monitor sshd logs, but Clear Linux has transitioned to using sshd.socket (sshd-session). As a result, Tallow fails to detect authentication attempts, rendering it ineffective against brute-force SSH attacks.

I've forked the project back and am maintaining fixes here for now:
