Si hay 5 intentos fallidos de conexión desde la misma IP dentro del tiempo definido por findtime, esa IP será baneada.
maxretry = 5 (número máximo de intentos)
bantime: duración del banneo en segundos
findtime = 600 (10 minutos).
Si se detectan 5 intentos fallidos dentro de esos 10 minutos, se aplicará el baneo

sudo apt install fail2ban  
sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
 
[sshd]
enabled = true
port = ssh
filter = sshd
logpath = /var/log/auth.log
maxretry = 5
bantime = 3600
findtime = 600
 
sudo systemctl restart fail2ban
xz@equipo:$ sudo fail2ban-client status sshd

Crear archivo del filtro y agregar la regla

sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-propfind.conf

[Definition]
failregex = ^<HOST> - - \[.*\] "PROPFIND .* HTTP.*"
ignoreregex =

ignoreregex = ← No excluye nada
ignoreregex = ^127\.0\.0\.1.* ← Excluiría localhost

fail2ban-regex /var/log/apache2/access.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-propfind.conf
 
Running tests
=============
 
Use   failregex filter file : apache-propfind, basedir: /etc/fail2ban
Use         log file : /var/log/apache2/access.log
Use         encoding : UTF-8

Missed line(s): too many to print.  Use --print-all-missed to print all 426 lines

17 coincidieron, 0 se ignoraron o excluyeron, 426 no coincidieron.
Se pueden ver con --print-all-missed. El filtro está bien y se puede usar

Ejemplo con --print-all-missed

xz@equipo:$ fail2ban-regex /var/log/apache2/access.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-propfind.conf --print-all-missed | tail -n 3
