[ale] Backtracking to an IP

[Doug McNash]

Ditto, I have been seeing this low intensity ssh attempts also for about
the same 6 weeks. The sources originate from all over the globe.

One of many threads discussing this can be found here:

My solution:
I loaded the iptables patch-o-matic TARPIT target and send all addresses
I don't use to the pit. The worm, virus or whatever only makes one
attempt before it moves on with the tarpit in place.  It seems to have
dropped off this week.
