howto,
snippets BFD is an easy to use brute force detection script that plays very nicely when combined with APF…
currently it does support certain daemons out of the box… but vspftd is not one of those 
This a *very basic* (it does not pass the offending username to bfd) script to add VSFTPD support to BFD.
You just need to create a file named “vsftpd” into the BFD ./rules/ directory and paste this content into it:
REQ="/usr/sbin/vsftpd"
if [ -f "$REQ" ]; then
LP="/var/log/vsftpd.log"
TLOG_TF="vsftpd"
#Mon Mar 28 23:57:38 2011 [pid 9897] [asdasd] FAIL LOGIN: Client "127.0.0.1"
## VSFTPD
ARG_VAL=`$TLOG_PATH $LP $TLOG_TF | grep -w 'FAIL LOGIN' | sed -r 's/^.{0,}Client .//' | sed 's/"/:vsftpd/g'`
fiThis script refers to the standard vsftpd rhel/centos installation…
If the logfile is placed elsewhere (vsftpd_log_file) or if the option “syslog_enable” in vsftpd.conf has been enabled it needs to be adjusted 
PS: this was a NON-WORKING test (usernames with a space in it where making it fail):
ARG_VAL=`$TLOG_PATH $LP $TLOG_TF | grep -w 'FAIL LOGIN' | awk '{print $12":"$8}' | tr '[]"'` Tags: brute force detection, CentOS, vsftpd

howto *POST UPDATED – now referring to centos6*
There are some ISPs in the dedicated servers market that are offering crappy CentOS installs…
With “crappy” I mean: broken/modifed images…
The worst example I had the opportunity to try was OVH.
OVH is in general a very good dedicated hosting provider offering very nice services at an impressive low price… but they have the bad attitude to install custom operating systems that many times cannot be reverted back to the original kernels
One of them is their CentOS 5 install… Lucky for us it’s not a big problem as, most times, it’s possible to do a clean CentOS install
