More than spins: Exploring uncharted territory in quantum devices

Many of today’s quantum devices rely on collections of qubits, also called spins. These quantum bits have only two energy levels, the ‘0’ and the ‘1’. However, spins in real devices also interact with light and vibrations known as bosons, greatly complicating calculations. Researchers now demonstrate a way to describe spin-boson systems and use this to efficiently configure quantum devices in a desired state.

Fail2Ban: Ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors

Fail2Ban is an open-source tool that monitors log files, such as /var/log/auth.log, and blocks IP addresses that exhibit repeated failed login attempts. It does this by updating system firewall rules to reject new connections from those IP addresses for a configurable amount of time. Fail2Ban features “Fail2Ban is a versatile and effective tool. It can block common attacks using community-driven filters with minimal configuration. Additionally, it can serve as a complex IDS/IPS system to meet … More → The post Fail2Ban: Ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors appeared first on Help Net Security.
