Since I always forget:
for /l %1 in (1,2,200) do echo %1 >> text-%1.txt
This creates files with incremental filenames like this:
text-1.txt
text-3.txt
...
text-199.txt

Interesting: middelink/mikrotik-fwban: Use your Mikrotik firewall to do fail2ban like blocking of unwanted IPs. Written in Go.
It might beat these (that just count SSH connections, not failed connection attempts):
Another alternative is to parse one of the logs:
Of course you should have this installed by default as part of your hardening process:

[WayBack] [WARNING] Intel Skylake/Kaby Lake processors: broken hyper-threading via [WayBack] Affects all oses. Updated can be applied by updating your UEFI/BIOS microcode update for CPU. Make sure you apply those fixes. – nixCraft – Google+:
This warning advisory is relevant for users of systems with the Intel processors code-named "Skylake" and "Kaby Lake". These are: the 6th and 7th generation Intel Core processors (desktop, embedded, mobile and HEDT), their related server processors (such as Xeon v5 and Xeon v6), as well as select Intel Pentium processor models.
My own actions for now are below.
Find out which machines use CPUs on these lists:
Use these Linux commands to find out the model and hyperthreading support:
grep -E 'model|stepping' /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u
grep -qE '^flags.*[[:space:]]ht[[:space:]]' /proc/cpuinfo && \
echo "Hyper‐threading is supported"
Use this Windows command to find out the model:
wmic cpu get caption
Use this command on Mac OS X:
sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string
If it’s on the list and supports hyperthreading, then disable hyperthreading.

It was shown during [Archive.is] Google Cloud Next 2017 in Amsterdam and immediately reminded me of The Big Bang Theory – How to turn on a lamp below.

WHAT IS A BOGON, AND WHY SHOULD I FILTER IT?
A bogon prefix is a route that should never appear in the Internet routing table. A packet routed over the public Internet (not including over VPNs or other tunnels) should never have a source address in a bogon range. These are commonly found as the source addresses of DDoS attacks.
Source: The Bogon Reference – Team Cymru
The regular Bogon list is pretty static (last change in 2012), so I’ve listed the text version below. But the full Bogon list (including unused IPv4 space) is dynamic.
0.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 100.64.0.0/10 127.0.0.0/8 169.254.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12 192.0.0.0/24 192.0.2.0/24 192.168.0.0/16 198.18.0.0/15 198.51.100.0/24 203.0.113.0/24 224.0.0.0/4 240.0.0.0/4
