Secure Your Ubuntu Server with Fail2ban | Step-by-Step Guide

I'm just in the process of upgrading a web sever. This video saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks Josh. Excellent work.

Appreciate your videos, sir. Thank you for showing the troubleshooting steps after the error. Those steps are what most tutorials do not show, and it is so helpful for a beginner like me.

You are most welcome

They find servers with open ports with a simple scan for a range of IP's. When they see an open port... it's a matter of trial and error to see what services are listening and then exploit any know vulnerabilities. Hence the importance of always keeping your systems updated. If no known vulnerabilities are found... a brute force attack is next. And fail2ban is a powerful defense tool in that situation.
