What is BFD (Brute Force Detection)?
BFD is a modular shell script for parsing applicable logs and checking for authentication failures. There is not much complexity or detail to BFD yet and likewise it is very straight-forward in its installation, configuration and usage. The reason behind BFD is very simple; the fact there is little to no authentication and brute force auditing programs in the linux community that work in conjunction with a firewall or real-time facility to place bans. BFD is available at: http://www.rfxnetworks.com/bfd.php
This guide will show you how to install and configure BFD to protect your system from brute force hack attempts.
Requirements:
- You MUST have APF Firewall Installed before installing BFD - it works with APF and requires some APF files to operate.
