Hi, The version 0.5.0 of Fail2Ban is available. This is a development version and contains a lot of new features (mail notification, CIDR support, firewall rules configuration, etc). Please test it and report any bugs in order to make it stable as soon as possible. "Fail2Ban is written in Python. It scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail or /var/log/apache/error_log and bans IP that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address."
