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 on the project website: http://www.fail2ban.org

It is possible that Fail2ban is already packaged for your distribution. In this

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.

|
|
|
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
