Self-contained binary for SSH brute force protection

The ask

Administrators manage Linux servers with SSH access exposed to the internet. They need to protect these servers from dictionary and brute force attacks targeting SSH password authentication. Current common tools for this purpose often require installing a Python interpreter on each server. This adds an unwanted dependency and increases the system's footprint. A solution is needed that blocks these types of attacks without requiring an external runtime like Python. It should be a single, self-contained executable. The primary focus is basic SSH protection, not a comprehensive feature set.
