# Fail2Ban configuration file # # Author: Daniel Black # # This is for ipset protocol 4 (ipset v4.2). If you have a later version # of ipset try to use the iptables-ipset-proto6.conf as it does some things # nicer. # # 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. Debian squeeze can do this with: # apt-get install xtables-addons-source # module-assistant auto-install xtables-addons # # Debian wheezy and above uses protocol 6 [INCLUDES] before = iptables-blocktype.conf [Definition] # Option: actionstart # Notes.: command executed once at the start of Fail2Ban. # Values: CMD # actionstart = ipset --create fail2ban- iphash 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.
