    How can I block these attacks?

    What is the configuration method needed? What do I enable?

    Install fail2ban

    /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf

    Code:
    #
# FTP servers
#

[pure-ftpd]

enabled  = true
port     = ftp
filter   = pure-ftpd
logpath  = /var/log/messages
maxretry = 3
    /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/pure-ftpd.conf

    Code:
    failregex = pure-ftpd(?:\[\d+\])?: \(.+?@<HOST>\) \[WARNING\] %(__errmsg)s \[.+\]$
    Restart your fail2ban

    Is this really an attack?

    Has someone been trying to exploit something I have left open? I am getting this message on my box . . .

    I guess someone is trying to log into your FTP account. You should install fail2ban to block these attempts.

    It is installed . . .

    I got fail2ban installed, but I am seeing a line already in this file:

    /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/pure-ftpd.conf

    similar to the one in this link. This is what it states:


    failregex = pure-ftpd(?:\[\d+\])?: \(.+?@<HOST>\) \[WARNING\] %(__errmsg)s \[.+\]\s*$


    It is slightly different . . . should I leave it in or remove it and replace it?

    If you don't see any errors in the fail2ban log in the /var/log/ directory, leave it as it is.
