fail2ban course?

I'd like to take a Treehouse course/workshop teaching how to work with fail2ban, how to rise up a basic defense line against Brute Force Attacks (BFAs). Of course, the course is aimed to people that already learned basic work with Bash shell.

I fully understand that the regex course is a prerequisite and that one needs to know at least these regex concepts:

    NMC # Non Meta Character
    . ?
    () [] {}
    ^ $ *
    |
    \

    .* 
    ^xyz .* # All that starts with xyz and a space, and all after it in that line.
    \w
    \s
    \K      # Negate all before it, in that line, so the bring all that is after it.

What do you think?

I feel like they might need some linux administration courses first? Or maybe this could be part of a course on IPTables/Firewalls...
