==== Extract banned ip addresses ====

<code>
Write a bash script that will do the following:

Using the command "sudo fail2ban-client status sshd", from the output, get the banned ip addresses and sort them into the file "banned_ips.txt" displaying 1 ip address per line.
</code>

Answer from chatgtp needs some work:
<code>
#!/bin/bash

# Get the banned IP addresses using the fail2ban-client command
banned_ips=$(sudo fail2ban-client status sshd | grep "Banned IP list" | awk '{print $NF}')

# Sort the banned IP addresses and store them in a file
echo "$banned_ips" | sort | uniq > banned_ips.txt
</code>

This however only shows last ip address

==== Patch Red Hat and Debian based systems and perform reboot if required using an ansible playbook ====

<code>
---
- name: Patch both Debian and Red Hat based systems
  hosts: all
  become: yes

  tasks:
    - name: Update package index
      apt: update_cache=yes
      when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
      
    - name: Update package index
      yum: 
        name: "*"
        state: latest
      when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat"

    - name: Install patches
      apt: upgrade=dist
      when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"

    - name: Install patches
      yum: name=* state=latest
      when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat"

    - name: Check if a reboot is required
      shell: "ls /var/run/reboot-required"
      register: reboot_required
      changed_when: false

    - name: Perform reboot
      reboot:
      when: reboot_required.rc == 0
</code>

In this playbook, the apt module is used to update the package index and install patches on Debian-based systems, while the yum module is used for the same on Red Hat-based systems. The when statement is used to conditionally execute the correct module based on the value of ansible_os_family.

After the patches have been installed, the playbook checks if a reboot is required by running the ls /var/run/reboot-required command. If the command returns a zero exit code, indicating that a reboot is required, the reboot module is used to perform the reboot.
