Fail2ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) and
|
|
|
|
|
bans IPs that show the malicious signs -- too many password
|
|
|
|
|
failures, seeking for exploits, etc. Out of the box Fail2Ban
|
|
|
|
|
comes with filters for various services (apache, courier,
|
|
|
|
|
ssh, etc).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect
|
|
|
|
|
authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the risk
|
|
|
|
|
that weak authentication presents.
