# Fail2Ban configuration file # # Author: Daniel Black # # This is for ipset protocol 6 (and hopefully later) (ipset v6.14). # Use ipset -V to see the protocol and version. Version 4 should use # iptables-ipset-proto4.conf. # # This requires the program ipset which is normally in package called ipset. # # IPset was a feature introduced in the linux kernel 2.6.39 and 3.0.0 kernels. # # If you are running on an older kernel you make need to patch in external # modules. [INCLUDES] before = iptables-blocktype.conf [Definition] # Option: actionstart # Notes.: command executed once at the start of Fail2Ban. # Values: CMD # actionstart = ipset create fail2ban- hash:ip timeout iptables -I INPUT -p -m multiport --dports -m set --match-set fail2ban- src -j # Option: actionstop # Notes.: command executed once at the end of Fail2Ban # Values: CMD # actionstop = iptables -D INPUT -p -m multiport --dports -m set --match-set fail2ban- src -j ipset flush fail2ban- ipset destroy fail2ban- # Option: actionban # Notes.: command executed when banning an IP.
