    removal(crowdsec): Dropping crowdsec · cf0bef90
    Sheogorath authored
    After some testing and fiddling around, I don't think it's worth the
    hassle. Not only was ingress-nginx much less stable since integrating
    the crowdsec bouncer plugin, but also just providing some questionable
    log parsers etc, mainly focusing on bruteforce attacks for passwords,
    which is useless when everything goes to SSO anyway.
    
    Finally there were some other technical faux pas, like hardcoded
    passwords on the integrated dashboard (which is also mostly useless),
    expired GPG keys on the Fedora repository and finally a lack of bouncer
    modules on current Fedora releases, depsite the docs claiming otherwise.
    And given the issues date back to march, it doesn't seem to be a
    something that will be resolved any time soon.
    
    I guess my biggest critique is that the whole "fail2ban of the modern
    area" limits itself to IP addresses only. No additional metadata to
    block or mitigate attacks or identify attackers. Relying on IP addresses
    only in 2023 is not on time. The whole being distributed with the lapi
    server, is nice, but not enough to make this acceptable.
