Fail2Ban: ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
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 in fail2ban(1) manpage and on the website http://www.fail2ban.org
Installation:
It is possible that Fail2ban is already packaged for your distribution. In this case, you should use it instead.
Required:
Optional:
- pyinotify >= 0.8.3
- Linux >= 2.6.13
- gamin >= 0.0.21
To install, just do:
tar xvfj fail2ban-0.8.9.tar.bz2
cd fail2ban-0.8.9
python setup.py install
This will install Fail2Ban into /usr/share/fail2ban. The executable scripts are placed into /usr/bin, and configuration under /etc/fail2ban.
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 fail2ban-client(1) manpage. Also see fail2ban(1) manpage for further references and find even more documentation on the website: http://www.fail2ban.org
