Fail2ban 0.8.3 (Default branch)

Fail2ban monitors log files and temporarily or persistently bans failure-prone addresses by updating existing firewall rules. The software allows easy specification of different actions to be taken such as to ban an IP address using iptables or hostsdeny rules, or simply to send a notification email. It supports many services, and configuration can be easily extended for monitoring any other ASCII file. All filters and actions are given in the configuration files, thus fail2ban can be adopted to be used with a variety of files and firewalls. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
failtickets are processed as long as failmanager is not empty. The "pam-generic" filter and more configuration fixes were added. The PID file while started in daemon mode was fixed. The "fail2ban-client get jail logpath" was fixed. The gssftpd filter was added. The "Day/Month/Year Hour:Minute:Second" date template was added. ignoreregex processing was fixed in fail2ban-client. The ISO 8601 date/time format was added. Some logging levels and messages were added and changed. Poll is used instead of select in asyncore.loop. This should solve the "Unknown error 514".

NAME

       fail2ban - a set of server and client programs to limit brute force authentication attempts.

DESCRIPTION

       Fail2Ban consists of a client, server and configuration files to limit brute force authentication attempts.

       The  server  program  fail2ban-server is responsible for monitoring log files and issuing ban/unban commands.  It gets configured through a
       simple protocol by fail2ban-client, which can also read configuration files and issue corresponding configuration commands to the server.

       For details on the configuration of fail2ban see the jail.conf(5) manual page.  A jail (as specified  in  jail.conf)  couples  filters  and
       actions definitions for any given list of files to get monitored.

       For details on the command-line options of fail2ban-server see the fail2ban-server(1) manual page.

       For details on the command-line options and commands for configuring the server via fail2ban-client see the fail2ban-client(1) manual page.

       For  testing  regular  expressions  specified  in  a filter using the fail2ban-regex program may be of use and its manual page is fail2ban-
       regex(1).

LIMITATION

       Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the  risk	that  weak  authentication
       presents.  Configure services to use only two factor or public/private authentication mechanisms if you really want to protect services.

       A  local  user  is able to inject messages into syslog and using a Fail2Ban jail that reads from syslog, they can effectively trigger a DoS
       attack against any IP. Know this risk and configure Fail2Ban/grant shell access accordingly.
