fail2ban for Debian
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This package is nearly 100% identical to the upstream version. It was
|
|
merely packaged to be installed on a Debian system and due to tight
|
|
collaboration with upstream author most of the Debian modifications
|
|
penetrate into the next upstream.
|
|
|
|
Currently the main difference with upstream: python libraries are
|
|
placed under /usr/share/fail2ban insteadh of /usr/lib/fail2ban to
|
|
comply with policy regarding architecture independent resources.
|
|
|
|
Default behavior:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Only handling of ssh files is enabled by default. If you want to use
|
|
fail2ban with apache, please enable apache section manually in
|
|
/etc/fail2ban.conf.
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting:
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Updated failregex:
|
|
|
|
To resolve the security bug #330827 [1] failregex expressions must
|
|
provide a named group (?P<host>...) as a placeholder of the abuser's
|
|
host. The naming of the group was introduced to capture possible
|
|
future generalizations of failregex to provide even more
|
|
information. At a current point, all named groups are considered as
|
|
possible locations of the host addresses, but usually you should need
|
|
just a single group (?P<host>...)

|
|
|
|
Broken chain:
|
|
|
|
Currently no checks if an iptables queue generated at the beginning
|
|
(fail2ban-http and fail2ban-ssh) exists. So if your firewall resets the iptable
|
|
rules -- it is your responsibility to restart fail2ban. Also you can
|
|
augment fwban and fwunban rules and include as first lines full
|
|
definitions of fwstart. That is nasty solution and probably it will get
|
|
resolved in the future.
|
|
|
|
Mailing:
|
|
|
|
As it was reported (bug #329722) you might need to provide a full
|
|
e-mail address in fail2ban.conf option MAIL:from to make your mail
|
|
server accept that email. I've added @localhost to both MAIL:from and
|
|
MAIL:to in the default configuration shipped with Debian. It seems to
|
|
work nicely now
|
|
|
|
See TODO.Debian for more details, as well as the Debian Bug Tracking
|
|
system.
