 Fail2ban configuration has three terms. The first is "bantime" which indicates the time a host will be blocked. The second is "findtime" which is the length of time between login attempts before a ban is set. The last is "maxretry" which indicates how many attempts can be made to access the server before a ban is imposed. If a client is banned, the client can't connect to a device.

 __FORCETOC__
 === fail2ban ===
-Fail2ban is an intrusion prevention software framework that protects devices from brute-force attacks. Fail2ban is typically set up to unban a blocked host within a certain period, so as to not "lock out" any genuine connections that may have been temporarily misconfigured. However, an unban time of several minutes is usually enough to stop a network connection being flooded by malicious connections, as well as reducing the likelihood of a successful dictionary attack.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail2ban</ref>
+Fail2ban is an intrusion prevention software framework that protects devices from brute-force attacks<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack</ref>.

 The primary purpose of fail2ban is to jail services. When a service, such as SSHd, is jailed, then fail2ban will continuously look in the log(s) of that service for possible repeated attempts. The moment that a given number (maxretry) of attempts is detected within a particular time window (findtime) then a blocking rule (such as through iptables) is automatically set for a given time period (bantime).<ref>https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fail2ban</ref>
