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.
