Description : Daemon for detecting brute force attacks
The goal of 'wforce' is to detect brute forcing of passwords across many
servers, services and instances. In order to support the real world, brute
force detection policy can be tailored to deal with "bulk, but legitimate"
users of your service, as well as botnet-wide slowscans of passwords.
The aim is to support the largest of installations, providing services to
hundreds of millions of users.
weakforced doesn't have any real alternative for now in Debian as far as I can
see.
For now these packages will be in collab-maint, but I'll see if they
could go somewhere. I'm maintaining them as part of my work at
Gandi.net. This is therefore a Gandi.net contribution to the Debian
Project.
