Send a message to your phone at a weird ssh login

ssh-login-notify

! This project is not intended to replace other security measures such as public keys! !

This project should make it possible to quickly identify SSH logins that may not have come from you, by sending a notification to your cell phone. In the config you can set your region/city/IP. For all logins that do not match the data set in the config, a notification is sent to the mobile phone via webhook.
