Package: fail2ban Version: 0.8.3-2 Severity: wishlist --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
It would be nice to be able to block repeated offenders for increasingly longer periods of time: currently fail2ban blocks an IP for "bantime" after "maxretry" connections. Then the IP is unblocked. If that same IP tries again to connect after having been unblocked, a new ban for a duration of "bantime" seconds is put in place. But it would be great if the second time an IP starts to "attack" it gets blocked for a longer period of time, the third time for an even longer period etc. As a similar example, in another machine i use pure iptables + recent rules to ban an IP connecting 4 times in 30 sec => banned for 1 minute 12 times in 5 min => banned for 10 minutes 40 times in 1 hour => banned for 3 hours 100 times in 8 hours => banned for 1 day -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
