the user. Fail2Ban can read multiple log files such as sshd

This is my first Python program. Moreover, English is not my

More details:

-------------

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fail2Ban is rather simple. I have a home server connected to
|
|
|
|
|
the Internet which runs apache, samba, sshd, ... I see in my
|
|
|
|
|
logs that people are trying to log into my box using "manual"
|
|
|
|
|
brute force or scripts. They try 10, 20 and sometimes more
|
|
|
|
|
user/password (without success anyway). In order to
|
|
|
|
|
discourage these script kiddies, I wanted that sshd refuse
|
|
|
|
|
login from a specific ip after 3 password failures. After
|
|
|
|
|
some Google searches, I found that sshd was not able of that.
|
|
|
|
|
So I search for a script or program that do it. I found
|
|
|
|
|
nothing :-( So I decide to write mine and to learn Python :-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For each sections defined in the configuration file, Fail2Ban
|
|
|
|
|
tries to find lines which match the failregex. Then it
|
|
|
|
|
retrieves the message time using timeregex and timepattern.
|
|
|
|
|
It finally gets the ip and if it has already done 3 or more
|
|
|
|
|
password failures in the last banTime, the ip is banned for
|
|
|
|
|
banTime using a firewall rule. This rule is set by the user
|
|
|
|
|
in the configuration file. Thus, Fail2Ban can be adapted for
|
|
|
|
|
lots of firewall. After banTime, the rule is deleted. Notice
|
|
|
|
|
that if no "plain" ip is available, Fail2Ban try to do DNS
|
|
|
|
|
lookup in order to found one or several ip's to ban.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sections can be freely added so it is possible to monitor
|
|
|
|
|
several daemons at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Runs on my server and does its job rather well :-) The idea
|
|
|
|
|
is to make fail2ban usable with daemons and services that
|
|
|
|
|
require a login (sshd, telnetd, ...) and with different
|
|
|
|
|
firewalls.
