Get started with CrowdSec v.1.0.X - Thank you to the Crowdsec project for contributing this article. The official release of CrowdSec v.1.0.X introduces several improvements to the previous version, including a major architectural change: the introduction of a local REST API.
Introducing Crowdsec: A Modernized, Collaborative Massively Multiplayer Firewall for Linux - CrowdSec is a massively multiplayer firewall designed to protect Linux servers, services, containers, or virtual machines exposed on the Internet with a server-side agent. It was inspired by Fail2Ban and aims to be a modernized, collaborative version of that intrusion-prevention tool.
