| 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. | |
