Learn how to install, configure, test and monitor Fail2Ban - an intrusion prevention framework written in Python that protects Linux systems and servers from brute-force attacks.

We are going to learn how Fail2ban works and then use that knowledge to protect any arbitrary service of our choosing. This means we won’t be limited by only what Fail2ban supports out-of-the-box, and by the time you’re done with this guide, you should be able to configure Fail2ban yourself to protect any service that you desire, including SSH.
