Abstract
What we have presented in this article has to do with security data. How the firewall provides protection to servers having specific IPs allowed to access a specific port. We have used the Fail2Ban application which applies some rules in the firewall so that it blocks requests from unknown IPs. We create a bash script that sends requests to port 22 also known as the ssh. The communication between the central server and the other ones is made with public keys and there are no passwords. Below we will see how we measure the load average of the server and how the multiple requests affect its work.
