Fail2Ban scans log files like `/var/log/auth.log` and bans IP addresses conducting
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.
