bfd (brute force detection) 1.5-2 [bfdr-fx.org] copyright (c) 1999-2008, r-fx networks proj@r-fx.org copyright (c) 2008, ryan macdonald ryan@r-fx.org. although some will argue that perl based stream processing is far more flexible than unix tools, i argue that perl is a bloated framework to depend upon and unix tools such as sed are universal across *nix. further, perl is only more flexible with regular expression based stream 'editing', such as in place editing etc.., if you are only processing a data stream (as bfd does) then sed wins hands down. in addition to the benefits of parsing logs in a single stream, bfd also uses a log tracking system so logs are only parsed from the point which they were last read. this greatly assists in extending the performance of bfd even further as we are not constantly reading the same log data. the log tracking system is compatible with syslog/logrotate style log rotations which allows it to detect when rotations have happened and grab log tails from both the new log file and the rotated log file. you can also leverage bfd to block attackers using any number of tools such as apf, shorewall, raw iptables, ip route or execute any custom
