problem to understanding for average people
Hi,
it's related to https://doc.crowdsec.net/Crowdsec/v1/getting_started/concepts/ essentially but it can be a global approach about your whole approach. The problem is that you directly use concepts like API, framework etc... Where actually average people or lambda people are familiarized with software. Not abstract concept. They are used to their usage and their command line usage if they have installed a few ubuntu servers for example for their personal use.
Its a reproach that I would like have done to many other tech companies, so don't worry it's a common thing among devs etc. But if you ever teached among students even older students that would maybe be used at some level to manage the servers at work etc and who would learn computer science in a continuing training (formation continue).... and as your tech corp is a french initiative, I know you will be sensitive to what I'm going to say... they are used to what they are used to write in their command line ssh. Not to an abstract approach who would require that you actually are quite knowladgeable in the field already.
So what would be nice is that there is like an overview-bis or something alike where average people can rely on. What does know an average people ? or What is he familiar with? iptables. That they know. And if they are a little bit advanced they would even know framework like ufw, firewalld or others that actually all rely on iptables. And if they are even more advanced they will know fail2ban. We need to know at which level are we or how far are we from iptables. So is it related to iptables? or is your "bouncer package" replacing iptables?
I would have thought for example that your package would download a blacklsit and then, as fail2ban iptables would integrate the whole list in its list. But apparently not. So do you see where the problem is here?
Hello @Tyr4El !
Thanks for the feedback, very appreciated. We're going to try to put out an alternative explanation that would be more accessible !
