Fail2Ban (version 0.8.4) 2009/09/07
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This README is a quick introduction to Fail2ban. More documentation, FAQ, HOWTOs
|
|
are available on the project website: http://www.fail2ban.org

|
|
|

|
|
>=python-2.3 (http://www.python.org)
|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
>=gamin-0.0.21 (http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin)

|
|
> cd fail2ban-0.8.4
|
|
> python setup.py install

|
|
|
This will install Fail2Ban into /usr/share/fail2ban. The executable scripts are
|
|
placed into /usr/bin.
|
|
|
|
It is possible that Fail2ban is already packaged for your distribution. In this
|
|
case, you should use it.
|
|
|
|
Fail2Ban should be correctly installed now. Just type:
|
|
|
|
> fail2ban-client -h
|
|
|
|
to see if everything is alright. You should always use fail2ban-client and never
|
|
call fail2ban-server directly.
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
You can configure Fail2ban using the files in /etc/fail2ban. It is possible to
|
|
configure the server using commands sent to it by fail2ban-client. The available
|
|
commands are described in the man page of fail2ban-client. Please refer to it or
|
|
to the website: http://www.fail2ban.org
