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).

Description: bans IPs that cause multiple authentication errors
Monitors log files (e.g. /var/log/auth.log,
/var/log/apache/access.log) and temporarily or persistently bans
failure-prone addresses by updating existing firewall rules. The
software was completely rewritten at version 0.7.0 and now allows
easy specification of different actions to be taken such as to ban an
IP using iptables or hostsdeny rules, or simply to send a
notification email. Currently, by default, supports ssh/apache/vsftpd
but configuration can be easily extended for monitoring any other ASCII
file. All filters and actions are given in the config files, thus
fail2ban can be adopted to be used with a variety of files and
firewalls.
