Crowdsec key

Crowdsec is a crowdsourced cyber security tool, used to automate blocking malicious actors.

Enrolling in Crowdsec allows for some advanced functionality,

• Downloading managed blocklists

• Uploading IPs that your Crowdsec instance has identifed as malicious or risky

  • This helps other people using Crowdsec and will also show you stats on if other Crowdsec engines have seen this IP

• A nice UI to view and manage your blocked IP addresses

• Some email basic based reporting
