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.
