PiAlert – V1 #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Nick Twigg created this PiAlert that will log incoming server attacks. Picked up by Hackaday:

It’s based on a Raspberry Pi Zero W housed in a 3D-printed case, and works by interfacing with a program called fail2ban running on the server. fail2ban‘s primary job is to block IP addresses that fail a certain number of login attempts on a server, but being FOSS it can be modified for situations like this.
