# Fail2Ban configuration file
# Fail2Ban filter for dropbear

# ^%(__prefix_line)sexit before auth from <HOST>.*\s*$
#
# The standard Dropbear output doesn't provide enough information to
# ban all types of attack. The Dropbear patch adds IP address
# information to the 'exit before auth' message which is always
# produced for any form of non-successful login. It is that message
# which this file matches.
