Brutelock

We are pleased to announce the newest version of Brutelock has been released v1.1.0.

Changes in this version include:

• Change to the blocking rules format to make for easier reading.
• Additional service rules added.  Now includes rules for proftp, vsftp, courier, dovecot and postfix.  This is in addition to the existing sshd, pure-ftp and exim rules.
• Now allows you to specify the max number of failures per service.  For example if you want to block after 5 tries with sshd and 15 with courier, you can!

We are very pleased to announce that Brutelock is out of beta and the first production release is now available.

Several new features have been added since the last beta release which include:

• Added flexible, extensible service/log monitoring.  You can now monitor additional logs and services by adding the path to your log file and regex search pattern.
• Now includes support for pure-ftp and exim.
• Support for IP wildcards in the whitelist.
• Moved sync process and log rotation/cleanup processes into the main program to eliminate need for cron job scripts.
• Added logrotate support on systems that run logrotate to manage Brutelock’s logs.
