-  - sane defaults
-  - fast ip ban with `ipset`
-  - libmusl static release builds, no libc dependency

-Todo: more granular CLI args to filter HTTP Status codes (e.g. 5 401 leads to a block, but 30 404 before a block) ?

+Blockfast - block internets scanners fast 🍶
+Author: pierre dubouilh <pldubouilh@gmail.com>
+
+Blockfast reads logs from various sources and blocks the offending IPs using iptables and ipset.
+It supports logs from sshd, Common-Log-Format (Apache, etc..), JSON (Caddy) and a generic logs parser.
+
+Example:
+    # block invalid sshd attempts & invalid http statuses from caddy
+    ./blockfast -s=/var/log/auth.log -j=/caddy/logs
+
+    # generic log parser example with a log text to flag, and a regex to parse the offending IP.
+    ./blockfast --generic-logpath=/tmp/generictest --generic-positive='Failed password' --generic-ip='from ([0-9a-fA-F:.]+) port'
+
+Usage: blockfast [OPTIONS]
+Usage: blockfast [OPTIONS]
+
+Options:
+      --jailtime <JAILTIME>
+          jail time (seconds) [default: 21600]
+      --allowance <ALLOWANCE>
+          how many offences allowed (max 255) [default: 5]
+  -v, --verbose
+          log all offences
+  -s, --sshd-logpath <SSHD_LOGPATH>
+          path of sshd logfile
+  -c, --clf-logpath <CLF_LOGPATH>
+          path of Common-Log-Format logfile (Apache, etc..)
+  -j, --json-logpath <JSON_LOGPATH>
+          path of JSON HTTP logfile (Caddy)
+      --generic-logpath <GENERIC_LOGPATH>
+          generic parser log file path
+      --generic-ip <GENERIC_IP>
+          generic parser ip regex
+      --generic-positive <GENERIC_POSITIVE>
+          generic parser positive - if a logline contains this, it is considered bad, the rest is good
+      --generic-negative <GENERIC_NEGATIVE>
+          generic parser negative - if a logline contains this, it is considered good, the rest is bad
+      --valid-http-statuses <VALID_HTTP_STATUSES>
+          valid http statuses (for CLF and JSON logs) [default: 200 101]
