WP Fail2Ban Redux records various WordPress events to your server’s system log for integration with <a href="http://www.fail2ban.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Fail2Ban</a>.
This plugin is (mostly) a drop-in replacement for <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fail2ban/" rel="ugc">WP fail2ban</a> by <a href="https://charles.lecklider.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Charles Lecklider</a>.
While WP fail2ban is a great plugin, there are a number of improvements that could be made. In order to facilitate these improvements, a major refactoring of the codebase was necessary.
The core functionality between WP Fail2Ban Redux and WP fail2ban remains the same. WP Fail2Ban Redux is considered to be mostly a drop-in replacement, because all constants have been replaced with filters, and will, possibly, require some upgrade work. Don’t work it’s as simple as implementing the constants.
The following events are recorded by default:
<ul>
<li>Failed XML-RPC authentication attempts.</li>
<li>Successful authentication attempts.</li>
<li>Failed authentication attempts — differentiated by a user’s existence.</li>
<li>Pingback errors.</li>
</ul>
The following events can be enabled via filter:
<ul>
<li>Pingback requests.</li>
<li>Blocked user enumeration attempts.</li>
<li>Authentication attempts for blocked usernames.</li>
<li>Spammed comments.</li>
</ul>

Tiny, Simple and Effective. Works Well.Thanks to developer.

Simple and Effective, Works Well.

Easy, effective, no unnecessary control panel, no premium parts, no boring messages, it just do the work!

Having fail2ban already configured in the server, I installed it on a bunch of WP sites.

Locking repetitive attackers, it saves some server resources peaks.

Really thanks for the plugin.

If you already have fail2ban, this is a must

End users can benefit from wp2syslog:
<ul>
<li>Log entries for core events help to keep track of the daily business, especially on multiuser blogs.</li>
<li>Log entries for core events can raise awareness for threats and problems, for example abuse attempts.</li>
<li>Log entries triggered by plugins allow the user to comprehend the functionality of the plugin.</li>
</ul>
Developers can benefit in two ways from wp2syslog:
<ul>
<li>At each point of the code, a log entry can be triggered. No need to print to the browser, just let wp2syslog put it in the database, and you can have a look later.</li>
<li>You can develop your plugins with support for wp2syslog. This will give your users the chance to better understand what your plugin is doing (see doc/specs.html).</li>
</ul>

This plugin is forked from first 0.2 version of http://www.ossec.net/wpsyslog2/ 
already forked from the wpsyslog plugin by Alex Guensche ( http://www.zirona.com/software/donate ).
The firts version of this plugin was developed during a project with the German “Menschen für Tierrechte” (Humans for Animal Rights). 
It is an organisation of activists who advocate animal rights and fight against abuse of animals. They generously decided to donate 
this work to the general public by letting Zirona put it under the GNU GPL and allowing us to promote and distribute it.
Please support the work of Humans for Animal Rights, e.g. by placing a link to <a href="http://www.tierrechte.de/" title="www.tierrechte.de" rel="nofollow ugc">Humans for Animal Rights</a> and 
spreading the word. Not (only) because of this plugin, but generally for a better treatment of the beings on this planet.
