There are a number of tools to address brute force/dictionary attacks. Fail2ban and DenyHost are two being around the longest. I recently switched from fail2ban to sshguard, because it's written in C and it seems more consistently maintained. Also, sshguard did not require any configuration besides apt-get on my debian box.
