If you're not familiar: What is fail2ban? fail2ban is an awesome linux service/monitor that scans log files (e.g. auth.log for SSH) for potentially malicious behavior. Once fail2ban is tripped it will ban users for a specified duration by adding rules to Iptables. If you're unfamiliar with fail2ban Chris Fidao has a wonderful (& free!) series about security including setting up fail2ban here.

Recently Laravel released a new feature in 5.1 to throttle authentication attempts by simply adding a trait to your authentication controller. The Laravel throttle trait uses the inputted username, and IP address to throttle attempts. I love seeing this added to a framework out of the box, but what about some of our other apps not built on Laravel? Like a WordPress login? Or even an open API etc.? Ultimately,

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in Two Moves

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

The Solution

As it turns out, there are several open-source tools that allow for conversion between file types. Pandoc is one of them, and it's powerful. In fact, pandoc's website says "If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife." But, although pandoc can convert from markdown into .docx, it doesn't work in the other direction.
