Fail2Ban Log Analysis Bash Script For Report Generation

Advertisement

Previously we gave some complicated commands to our readers who use Fail2Ban and needs some checking. Other way was using BadIPs for creation of graph. Fail2Ban log analysis bash script is for report generation as list of attacker IPs, banned, unbanned, password attempts sorted by date, country. We written this easy script using various commands and we think it is useful to any sysadmin to quickly check a system.
