A few questions about configuring Fail2Ban
by Jason.nix from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JXSY)
Hello,
I have a few questions about configuring Fail2Ban:
1- The following options exist in two sections of Fail2Ban. One under [DEFAULT] section and another under the service configuration section:
Code:maxretry = 3
findtime = 1d
bantime = 4wWhy?
2- If I set the value of findtime to 1d, that means the number of times that the wrong password is entered must happen during a day? For example, 3 times in one day.
3- What is the best value of findtime to avoid brute-force attack?
Thank you.
