summaryThis website provides instructions on configuring and enabling brute force protection for Monit using fail2ban. Here's a summary of the process:

1. Check your Monit log file (var/log/monit.log) to ensure failed login attempts are recorded. These might look like:
Warning: Client 192.168.60.1 supplied unknown user test accessing monit httpd
Warning: Client 192.168.60.1 supplied wrong password for user admin accessing monit httpd

2. Update your repositories and install fail2ban using the commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fail2ban -y

3. Create a Monit fail2ban filter by editing the configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/monit-auth.conf

4. Define the regular expression that matches both failed login types (wrong passwords and unknown users):
Definition failregex: Warning: Client HOST supplied.monit-auth enabled
true
filter: monit-auth port 2812 logpath /var/log/monit.log
bantime: 60
maxretry: 3

5. Restart the fail2ban service to apply changes:
sudo service fail2ban restart

Now, Monit brute force protection is enabled using fail2ban. You can verify its status with this command:
sudo fail2ban-client status monit-auth

This will display information such as currently failed attempts, total failures, banned IP addresses, and categories associated with the configuration.
