Secure Log

Analyzing failed IP

sudo grep "Failed password for root" /var/log/secure-xxxxx | awk '{print $11}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | more

解读:选出 “Failed password for root”的行,选出第十一个单词,进行一个排序以便于
进行下次的uniq操作,在进行uniq 操作,再按出现的此时进行排序

Analyzing failed User

sudo grep "Failed password for invalid user" /var/log/secure-20191103 | awk '{print $13}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | more
