Fail2web, a fail2ban GUI

a fail2ban GUI powered by fail2rest. Contribute to Sean-Der/fail2web development by creating an account on GitHub.

Fail2web, a fail2ban GUI launched on June 26, 2014 with 48 votes and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.

In plain words

Fail2web is a graphical user interface for fail2ban, the security tool that blocks repeated failed login attempts. Built on fail2rest, it allows administrators to manage fail2ban configurations and monitor banned IP addresses through a web-based interface rather than command-line tools. The project is open source and available on GitHub for contributions and development.

    Hey HN! We’re open-sourcing highlight.io (https://github.com/highlight/highlight), a session replay and error monitoring tool. Highlight.io gives you a high-precision video-like replay of what users are doing when an error or exception occurs in your web app, along with a full-fledged error monitoring experience (similar to bugsnag, rollbar, etc..). The main value prop of highlight.io is that we help you understand the full context surrounding an error and allow you to drill down to the code path that a user invoked (i.e user clicked button X, sent network request Y, and…

    Yes, it's open source: https://github.com/lissy93/web-check :) Why I'm building this? There are a lot of tools out there for discovering meta and security data relating to a website, IP or server. But currently, there isn't anything that does everything, all in one place and without a paywall/ user sign up. It's still a WIP, and I'm working on a new version, with some more comprehensive checks, so any feedback would be much appreciated :)

  • Talanoa▲343

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
