cat << EOF
Fail2ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) and bans IPs that
show the malicious signs -- too many password failures, seeking for exploits,
etc. Generally Fail2Ban is then used to update firewall rules to reject the IP
addresses for a specified amount of time, although any arbitrary other action
(e.g. sending an email) could also be configured.
