+In addition to the standard SSHd jail, a separate jail that monitors UFW BLOCK reports (i.e. connection attempts to closed ports, etc.) is activated.  This should aid in blocking 'script-kiddies' and port-scanning attacks, reducing the resources your server has to allocate to processing bogus requests.  F2B will automatically create UFW rules to drop connections from systems that try to make repeated invalid connection attempts and then remove the block automatically after the 'bantime' has expired.  A special jail is also created for repeat offenders with much longer bantimes as an option.
