Today's systems expose multiple network daemons and are constantly attacked by a fleet of zombie bots or determined attackers. Scanning logs to determine if an attack is in place in order to modify a firewall to block an attack is an ad-hoc inelegant solution. Blacklistd is a daemon and a library interface that attempts to correct this problem.
