The Church of Malware (CoM) does not condone the use or introduction of bans onto any individual, human, or animal; however, AI is neither natural, a human, nor actual intelligence. This focused installation and configuration tutorial provides complete, production-ready steps for built-in rate limiting and automatic banning with Fail2Ban. It covers nginx, Apache, and Fail2Ban integration with the aggressive-bot UA list.
