Fail2Ban (version 0.7.4) 2006/??/??
|
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
ver. 0.7.4 (2006/09/28) - beta
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
- Improved configuration files. Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
|
|
|
- Added man page for "fail2ban-regex"
|
|
|
- Moved ban/unban messages from "info" level to "warn"
|
|
|
- Added "-s" option to specify the socket path
|
|
|
|
|
|
ver. 0.7.3 (2006/09/28) - beta
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
- Added man pages. Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
|
|
|
- Added wildcard support for "logpath"
|
|
|
- Added Gamin (file and directory monitoring system) support
|
|
|
- (Re)added "ignoreip" option
|
|
|
- Added more concurrency protection
|
|
|
- First attempt at solving bug #1457620 (locale issue)
|
|
|
- Performance improvements
|
|
|
- (Re)added permanent banning with banTime < 0
|
|
|
- Added DNS support to "ignoreip". Feature Request #1285859
|
|
|
|
|
|
ver. 0.7.2 (2006/09/10) - beta
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
- Refactoring and code cleanup
|
|
|
- Improved client output
|
|
|
- Added more get/set commands
|
|
|
- Added more configuration templates
|
|
|
- Removed "logpath" and "maxretry" from filter templates.
|
|
|
They must be defined in jail.conf now
|
|
|
- Added interactive mode. Use "-i"
|
|
|
- Added a date detector. "timeregex" and "timepattern" are no
|
|
|
more needed
|
|
|
- Added "fail2ban-regex". This is a tool to help finding
|
|
|
"failregex"
|
|
|
- Improved server communication. Start a new thread for each
|
|
|
incoming request. Fail2ban is not really thread-safe yet
|
|
|
|
|
|
ver. 0.7.1 (2006/08/23) - alpha
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
- Fixed daemon mode bug
|
|
|
- Added Gentoo init.d script
|
|
|
- Fixed path bug when trying to start "fail2ban-server"
|
|
|
- Fixed reload command
|
|
|
|
|
|
ver. 0.7.0 (2006/08/23) - alpha
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
- Almost a complete rewrite :) Fail2ban design is really
|
|
|
better (IMHO). There is a lot of new features
|
|
|
- Client/Server architecture
|
|
|
- Multithreading. Each jail has its own threads: one for the
|
|
|
log reading and another for the actions
|
|
|
- Execute several actions
|
|
|
- Split configuration files. They are more readable and easy
|
|
|
to use
|
|
|
- failregex uses group (<host>) now. This feature was already
|
|
|
present in the Debian package
|
|
|
- lots of things...
|
|
|
|
|
|
ver. 0.6.1 (2006/03/16) - stable
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
- Added permanent banning. Set banTime to a negative value to
|
|
|
enable this feature (-1 is perfect). Thanks to Mannone
|
|
|
- Fixed locale bug. Thanks to Fernando José
|
|
|
- Fixed crash when time format does not match data
|
|
|
- Propagated patch from Debian to fix fail2ban search path
|
|
|
addition to the path search list: now it is added first.
|
|
|
Thanks to Nick Craig-Wood
|
|
|
- Added SMTP authentification for mail notification. Thanks
|
|
|
to Markus Hoffmann
|
|
|
- Removed debug mode as it is confusing for people
|
|
|
- Added parsing of timestamp in TAI64N format (#1275325).
|
|
|
Thanks to Mark Edgington
|
|
|
- Added patch #1382936 (Default formatted syslog logging).
|
|
|
Thanks to Patrick B<>rjesson
|
|
|
- Removed 192.168.0.0/16 from ignoreip. Attacks could also
|
|
|
come from the local network.
|
|
|
- Robust startup: if iptables module does not get fully
|
|
|
initialized after startup of fail2ban, fail2ban will do
|
|
|
"maxreinit" attempts to initialize its own firewall. It
|
|
|
will sleep between attempts for "polltime" number of
|
|
|
seconds (closes Debian: #334272). Thanks to Yaroslav
|
|
|
Halchenko
|
|
|
- Added "interpolations" in fail2ban.conf. This is provided
|
|
|
by the ConfigParser module. Old configuration files still
|
|
|
work. Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
|
|
|
- Added initial support for hosts.deny and shorewall. Need
|
|
|
more testing. Please test. Thanks to kojiro from Gentoo
|
|
|
forum for hosts.deny support
|
|
|
- Added support for vsftpd. Thanks to zugeschmiert
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* reordered code a bit so that log targets are setup right
|
|
|
after background and then only loglevel (verbose, debug)
|
|
|
is processed, so the warning could be seen in the logs
|
|
|
* Added a keyword <section> in parsing of the subject and
|
|
|
the body of an email sent out by fail2ban (closes:
|
|
|
#330311)
|
|

|
|
