Who's Attacking My Server?

Is theater on a properly configured server. On an improperly configured server it's the difference between compromised or not. And there tons of improperly cfg'd servers out there. One more layer in the security onion doesn't hurt

Unless there is RCE in Fail2Ban like CVE-2021-32749 which makes it actually worse.

Instead of lowering your attack surface you increase it by adding stuff.
