In particular attention should be paid to upstream changelog entries - Several "failregex" and "ignoreregex" are now accepted. Creation of rules should be easier now. This is an alternative solution to 'multiple ' entries fix, which is not applied to this shipped version - pay caution if upgrading from 0.7.5-3~pre? - Allow comma in action options. The value of the option must be escaped with " or '. That allowed to implement requested ability to ban multiple ports at once (See 373592). README.Debian and jail.conf adjusted to reflect possible use of iptables-mport - Now Fail2ban goes in /usr/share/fail2ban instead of /usr/lib/fail2ban. This is more compliant with FHS. Patch 00_share_insteadof_lib no longer applied * Refactored installed by debian package jail.conf: - Added option banaction which is to incorporate banning agent (usually some flavor of iptables rule), which can then be easily overriden globally or per section - Multiple actions are defined as action_* to serve as shortcuts * Initd script was modified to inform about present socket file which would forbid fail2ban-server from starting * Adjusted default log file for postfix to be /var/log/mail.log (Closes: #404921) -- Yaroslav Halchenko Thu, 4 Jan 2007 15:24:52 -0500 fail2ban (0.7.5-3~pre6) unstable; urgency=low * Fail2ban now bans vsftpd logins (corrected logfile path and failregex) (Closes: #404060) * Made fail2ban-server tollerate multiple entries in failregex * Moved call to dh_pycentral before dh_installinit * Removed unnecessary call of dh_shlibdeps * Added filter ssh-ddos to fight DDOS attacks. Must be used with caution if there is a possibility of valid clients accessing through unreliable connection or faulty firewall (Closes: #404487) * Not applying patch any more for rigid python2.4 - it is default now in sid/etch * Moving waiting loop for fail2ban-server to stop under do_stop function, so it gets invoked by both 'restart' and 'stop' commands * do_status action of init script is now using 'fail2ban-client ping' instead of '... status' since we don't really use returned status information, besides the return error code -- Yaroslav Halchenko Tue, 26 Dec 2006 21:56:58 -0500 fail2ban (0.7.5-2) unstable; urgency=low * NEWS.Debian confusions - the latest NEWS entry and postinst message were rephrased (Closes: #402350) * Added mail-whois-lines action, which emails log lines containing abuser IP. Those lines are often required for proper abuse reports sent to the Internet providers. Forwarding of such received emails to the email addresses of abuse departments present in the output of whois is a tentative solution for semi-automatic abuse reporting (Closes: #358810) -- Yaroslav Halchenko Sun, 10 Dec 2006 18:55:37 -0500 fail2ban (0.7.5-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release which fixes next issues + Socket parameter not work with other path (Closes: #400162) + fail2ban does not start with /etc/init.d/fail2ban start but with fail2ban-client start (Closes: #400278) * Removed obsolete patches left from 0.6 * Adjusted wsftpd patch to use tag to be in line with the other filter definitions -- Yaroslav Halchenko Thu, 7 Dec 2006 20:19:09 -0500 fail2ban (0.7.4-5) unstable; urgency=low * Added Suggests on mailx and relevant comments in README.Debian about invoking mail actions (closes: #396668) * Removed obsolete entries in TODO and README * README.Debian describes the use of interpolations vs parameters passed from jail.{conf,local} into an action definitions (closes: #398739) * Initial version of postfix filter has been present in 0.7 (closes: #377711) * Removed Uploaded field from control since I am a DD now.

It will sleep between attempts for "polltime" number of seconds (closes: #334272). * To overcome possible conflict with other firewall solutions and as a secondary solution for the bug 334272, fail2ban startup is moved during bootup to the latest (S99) sequenece position. That should not cause any discomfort I believe. -- Yaroslav Halchenko Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:54:38 -0400 fail2ban (0.5.4-5.14) unstable; urgency=low * Added a notification regarding the importance of 0.5.4-5 change of failregex in the config file. * Adjusted address to FSF. * Adjusted failregex for SSH so it bans "Illegal user" entries as well, and restricted full failregex more to include ":" at the beginning, because otherwise it might not be sufficient and would revive bug 330827 (closes: #333056). * Adjusted failregex for SSH to accommodate recent changes in logging of SSH: Illegal -> Invalid.
