I've used a pf ruleset to block too intensive connect attempts to
my sshd, as it was documented in the openbsd FAQ. I block IPs
permanently, and if someone was blocked due to too intensive
ssh-ing, then the IP will absolutely be blocked, globally.
I auto-save this table, and it's an append-only one.

This is a really easy policy, works great.
