<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've got Ubuntu latest distro + fail2ban (latest) - box running basically just asterisk + Lamp<br />
I had a problem with fail2ban endlessly starting every 2 mins.<br />
Assumed it was the result of a brute-force attack.<br />
Did a re-install, everything hunky-dory 48hrs, now its started again (restarting every 2mins), anybody? <br />
Is this some new vulnerability?

Fail2Ban restart

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.

Linux Security

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
