# 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. # # On Debian machines this can be done with: # # apt-get install ipset xtables-addons-source # module-assistant auto-install xtables-addons [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 DROP # 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 DROP ipset flush fail2ban- ipset destroy fail2ban- # Option: actionban # Notes.: command executed when banning an IP. Take care that the # command is executed with Fail2Ban user rights. # Tags: See jail.conf(5) man page # Values: CMD # actionban = ipset add fail2ban- timeout -exist # Option: actionunban # Notes.: command executed when unbanning an IP. Take care that the # command is executed with Fail2Ban user rights. # Tags: See jail.conf(5) man page # Values: CMD # actionunban = ipset del fail2ban- -exist [Init] # Default name of the ipset # name = default # Option: port # Notes.: specifies port to monitor # Values: [ NUM | STRING ] Default: ssh # port = ssh # Option: protocol # Notes.: internally used by config reader for interpolations. # Values: [ tcp | udp | icmp | all ] Default: tcp # protocol = tcp # Option: bantime # Notes: specifies the bantime in seconds (handled internally rather than by fail2ban) # Values: [ NUM ] Default: 600 bantime = 600
