The self-hosted CrowdSec alternative

CrowdSec is a collaborative cybersecurity service that ingests logs and telemetry to detect malicious IPs and attack patterns via a shared threat intelligence network, provides curated blocklists and automated remediation (‘bouncers’) for firewalls, CDNs and SIEMs.

Alternatives to CrowdSec

Fail2Ban monitors service logs for repeated failures and automatically bans abusive IP addresses by updating firewall rules for a configurable time.
