Source: fail2ban Section: net Priority: optional Maintainer: Yaroslav Halchenko Uploaders: Barak Pearlmutter Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.1.67), dpatch Build-Depends-Indep: python, python-dev, help2man Standards-Version: 3.7.2 Package: fail2ban Architecture: all Depends: python (>=2.3), iptables, lsb-base (>=2.0-7) Description: bans IPs that cause multiple authentication errors Monitors (in daemon mode) or just scans log files (e.g. /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/apache/access.log) and temporarily bans failure-prone addresses by updating existing firewall rules. Currently, by default, supports ssh/apache but configuration can be easily extended for scanning the other ASCII log files. Firewall rules are given in the config file, thus it can be adopted to be used with a variety of firewalls (e.g. iptables, ipfwadm). . Homepage: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/fail2ban
