- berkes 5y agoThere are fail2ban configs for most popular software ready to use. E.g. WP fail2ban¹ is a config that bans an IP after failed login attempts. The defaults it ships with are well-balanced between security and not-locking-yourself-out. Drupal, PHPBB, etc all have such generic config defaults online. For frameworks such as Rails, Django etc its a bit harder because the logging and url-schemes are not standard, but defined by the person developing in that framework. ¹https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fail2ban/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fail2ban/
