Or, slightly better yet:

sudo iptables -A INPUT -s EVIL_IP_GOES_HERE -j DROP

Or, even better than that, go with active protection.  There are a
handful of applications out there that can actively "defend" your
machine when certain activities are detected.  Examples include adding a
temporary iptables rule blocking access to an IP address when excessive
scanning is detected, or adding a temporary iptables rule blocking access
when excessive failed logins are detected, etc.
