What is "[apache-auth]"? Is it a predefined rule for Fail2Ban and is under the "filter.d" directory? I mean is that "[apache-auth]" refer to the "apache-auth.conf" file:
Hello,
I found a tutorial to protect some services with Fail2Ban:
Code:
# nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
Code:
[apache-auth]
enabled = true
port = http,https
logpath = %(apache_error_log)s
[apache-badbots]
enabled = true
port = http,https
logpath = %(apache_access_log)s
bantime = 48h
maxretry = 1
[apache-noscript]
enabled = true
port = http,https
logpath = %(apache_error_log)
Great....and if you told us WHICH tutorial you followed, for what version/distro of Linux, we'd have some ideas what you've done/tried. But you haven't.

....because that file is mentioned in there. Did you try to do basic research about fail2ban and what that directive does? Because there is a LOT of it available with a brief Google search. And again, these seem to be homework questions....so show us your efforts.
