Fail2Ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail and bans IP
|
|
|
|
|
that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall
|
|
|
|
|
rules to reject the IP address. These rules can be defined by
|
|
|
|
|
the user. Fail2Ban can read multiple log files such as sshd
|
|
|
|
|
or Apache web server ones.
|
|
