reaction is a daemon that scans program outputs for repeated patterns, and takes action.
A common usage is to scan ssh and webserver logs, and to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors.
reaction does not have all the features of fail2ban, but it’s faster and has more manageable configuration.
Key Features
- Detect unsolicited, unwanted and virus-infected emails, calls, files, etc.
- Lightweight.
- Detect and resolve website performance issues proactively.
