Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support. Fail2Ban is an intrusion prevention software framework that protects servers from brute force attacks and other malicious activities. By monitoring log files, such as SSH or Apache logs, Fail2Ban identifies IP addresses that demonstrate patterns of suspicious behavior e.g. multiple failed login attempts and temporarily bans them by updating firewall rules. It supports many services and is highly configurable, making it a versatile and effective tool for enhancing server security. The tool is widely used to automate the process of IP blocking based on pre defined policies and configurable jail settings.
Highlights
- Monitors log files for signs of malicious behavior, such as failed login attempts.
- Automatically updates firewall rules to block offending IPs temporarily or permanently.
- Helps mitigate brute-force attacks and can reduce server load from unwanted traffic.
