Fail to ban can be defined for any service (most are added passively if seen on the system) to add the ip to a deny/block list. The other two are just tools to lookup common rootkits. Nothing beats monitoring logs from time to time but if your unsure where to find all the logs or don't have alot of time those are better than nothing :) Also as far as a basic security measure look into fail2ban, chkrootkit and rkhunter all good at various tasks.

You can also use allow/deny to restrict this folder to your own ip or ip-chain. I do this sometimes if im working on my own box/site setup where other users outside my network or only specific friends would be allowed controlled access.
