Allows you to enable and configure Fail2ban. Fail2Ban is an intrusion prevention software framework that protects servers from brute-force attacks. Written in the Python programming language, it is able to run as a deamon and can block detected “bad” activity via IPtables or third party firewall tools such as APF/Firewalld.

  • Username: Shows the username of the user in question.
  • Console: This column shows which console or network service the user was using to login.
  • Host: Hostname or IP of the user that logged in.
  • Login start date: Shows the date on which the login in question started.
  • S-Time: Shows the time at which the login in question started.
  • E-Time: Shows the time at which the login in question ended.
  • Duration: Shows how long the login lasted - or if it's still going on.
  • Kill: Allows you to boot the user from the system (if he is still logged in!). That alone doesn't prevent him from logging in again, though. For that you may have to suspend the site or suspend the user in question, too.
