 ## Fail2Ban: ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
 
-Fail2Ban scans log files like `/var/log/auth.log` and bans IP addresses
-having too many failed login attempts.
-It does this by updating system firewall rules to reject new connections
-from those IP addresses, for a configurable amount of time.
-Fail2Ban comes out-of-the-box ready to read many standard log files, such as those
-for sshd and Apache, and is easy to configure to read any log file you choose, for
-any error you choose.

 Configure services to use only two factor or public/private authentication
 mechanisms if you really want to protect services.
