# Try and prevent apache overloads by banning IP addresses that have (too) #
# many open connections. #
# This script uses netstat to determine the connections to the HTTPS port of #
# the host machine and provides automated whois information retrieval based on #
# the address or the /24-, /16- or /8-subnet thereof. Addresses (or subnets) #
# are presented to the user in order of descending connection count. For each #
# address (or subnet), the user can choose to ban or ignore it. Addresses (or #
# subnets) chosen to be banned will be blocked by the apache-badbots jail of #
# fail2ban. #

# database must be installed separately and is provided to the script via a #
# command line parameter. #
