Fail2Ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/pwdfail, /var/log/auth.log, etc) and bans IP that makes too many password failures or perfoms other non-wanted action (e.g. scans for the presence of vulnerable software on the website). It can perform multiple actions whenever an abusing IP was detected: update firewall rules (or alternatively hosts.deny) to reject abuser's IP address, email notifications, or any user defined action. Standard configuration ships filters for Apache, sshd, vsftpd, qmail, postfix, courier. Rules are given by Python regular expressions, thus can easily be crafted by the user.
