Creating Automatic Python Firewall Script in Ubuntu

In this video you will use a Python script on Ubuntu to manage automatic firewall entries on and AWS hosted Ubuntu system. You standard AWS system group will allow SSH traffic in and really has to, allowing remote management and access. By opening up SSH there will be many scripted attacks on your system . Although we could use products like fail2-ban, automating the protection yourself helps you learn and manage your system better.

Additionally you can find my video courses on Pluralsight: http://pluralsight.com/training/Authors/Details/andrew-mallett and take time to see my own site http://www.theurbanpenguin.com
