fail2ban-p2p

This is the repository for fail2ban-p2p. Fail2ban-p2p is a standalone application written in python that will exchange IPs of attackers detected by fail2ban using a p2p-network.

Basic concept

• Every node in the p2p-network is connected to at least one other 'friend'
• friends exchange their public keys to verify messages signed with the senders private key.
• Nodes send each other messages when one of them detected an attacker
• Nodes also pass along this information to spread it in the network
• You can assign different trustlevels for friends and a threshold that is required to ban an attacker locally.

Short coding styleguide

• One class per file
• One directory per package
• One tab = 4 spaces
• lower-case variables, if it consists of multiple words, beginning of every new word is upper-case, e.g.: donauDampfSchiffFahrtsGesellschaft, protocolVersion, tmp
• the above is also true for function names
• class names behave similarly, except for the fact that they begin with a capital letter.
