Methods on detecting hackers?

Just wondering, what do you all do to detect hackers?

Personally I do three things, though I should probably do more. First I review logs to see if anyone is doing anything they should not. Second I ban IPs from countries that are more likely to attack my server. Lastly I use fail2ban to detect people trying to get in while I am not looking.

Looking forward to seeing what you all do.

    Detection is incredibly hard, prevention is much easier.
