This is all about security for people who ran internet services on their public (cloud) host. 
Nobody wants to have a burglar in front of their doors, trying to guess the login credentials to your services. 
If you want to prevent this, then this script might be your solution.
Syslog to Firewall is a tool to prevent hackers to get into your system. It runs on Linux and looks into the Syslog / Auth / FTP and Mail Log and searches invalid logons due to wrong user credentials, if it find them then block it for a certain timespan. Syslog to Firewall is a script called syslog2fw.

==Requried Perl Modules==
There are a few Perl modules required which do not get installed by default, please run the following commands:

==Firewall Init Script==
A sample init script, this is a recommendation only, it is up to you how to setup your init script. 
The only thing to be aware is that '''Syslog to Firewall''' will insert its rule into the second rule position of iptables (default). 
Please make sure to initialize your basic rules at the first position of iptables. 
 
The following script is a example:
 
#!/bin/bash
#
############
#INIT NAMES
############
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
INITWHITENAME=init-generic-white
INITGENSRC=init-generic-service
#Set the ip address of your host
INITIP=1.2.3.4
