Fail2Ban (version 0.8.1) 2007/08/14
|
|
|
|
|
=============================================================
|

|
|

|
|
|
Fail2Ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail and bans IP
|
|
|
|
|
that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall
|
|
|
|
|
rules to reject the IP address. These rules can be defined by
|
|
|
|
|
the user. Fail2Ban can read multiple log files such as sshd
|
|
|
|
|
or Apache web server ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This README is a quick introduction to Fail2ban. More
|
|
|
|
|
documentation, FAQ, HOWTOs are available on the project
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
|
|
|
>=python-2.4 (http://www.python.org)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
|
|
|
>=gamin-0.0.21 (http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install, just do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> tar xvfj fail2ban-0.8.1.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
|
> cd fail2ban-0.8.1
|
|
|
|
|
> python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install Fail2Ban into /usr/share/fail2ban. The
|
|
|
|
|
executable scripts are placed into /usr/bin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible that Fail2ban is already packaged for your
|
|
|
|
|
distribution. In this case, you should use it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fail2Ban should be correctly installed now. Just type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> fail2ban-client -h
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to see if everything is alright. You should always use
|
|
|
|
|
fail2ban-client and never call fail2ban-server directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can configure Fail2ban using the files in /etc/fail2ban.
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to configure the server using commands sent to
|
|
|
|
|
it by fail2ban-client. The available commands are described
|
|
|
|
|
in the man page of fail2ban-client. Please refer to it or to
|
|
|
|
|
the website: http://www.fail2ban.org
