Regex based, Pythonic, .deb packages... What's not to like?
The Pythonic part, the lack of a whitelist, the 10-20 or so configuration files... While it works just fine, sshguard: * is natively compiled code, optimized for speed and low cpu/memory usage * supports whitelisting * supports IPv6 (which nobody cares about, yet) * does not require filters (though doesn't always work with all log files) * recognizes hostnames I hope to get a bit more involved in sshguard development to include HTTP and Asterisk log support.
