Nothing is the short answer. The long answer is that people keep wanting a tool to protect them from the now widespread ssh bruteforce attacks. Sure, the best way to protect is using a pf(4) overload rule but having an extra choice is a good thing. Moreover of all the various alternatives that exist for this(refer wikipedia), sshguard seems fairly reasonable and sound. That is why we arrived at this. Does it convince you? -Girish
