Fail2Ban (version 0.9.0a0) 20??/??/??
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
pyinotify:
|
|

To install, just do:
|
|
|
|
> tar xvfj fail2ban-0.8.8.tar.bz2
|
|
> cd fail2ban-0.8.8
|
|
> 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 fail2ban-client(1) manpage. Also see
|
|
fail2ban(1) manpage for further references and find even more documentation on
|
|
the website: http://www.fail2ban.org
