[CentOS] [WTA] Automatically blocking on failed login
Hello All, I had problems with the security server, the server is frequently attacked using bruteforce attacks. Is there an application that can perform automatic blocking when there are failed login to the ports smtp, pop3 port, and others? I am currently using CentOS 5.5 in some servers Thanks in advanced....... -- -- Best regards, David http://blog.pnyet.web.id -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Have done it on about 5 servers now. iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name SSH iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 --rttl --name SSH -j LOG --log-prefix 'SSH attack: ' iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 --rttl --name SSH -j DROP http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/block_brute_force_attacks_with_iptables/ Matt

You can configure it to scan whatever log file you like and block the ip that generate an error message in that log file. While it could be a little overhead to tweak, it can achieve remarkable results.

GAR is able to add temporary firewall rules to drop connection attempts/attacks under a configurable period of time and works in conjunction with Snort. -- /Sorin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Maybe he should go with Centos based solution, because moving what ever services are on his box to a smooth wall instance, is going to be murder! I would still suggest fail2ban, I have hundreds of attempts against my server farm all day everyday, and the fail2ban scripts really help to stop my services being tied up denying logins or crashing, because each ip only gets three strikes, and is out, and that's across all servers. Also, my traffic logs are more accurate, and my average load dropped a bit too. --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel (bberry mail) -----Original Message----- From: "Sorin Srbu" <sorin.srbu at orgfarm.uu.se> Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 09:22:39 To: 'CentOS mailing list'<centos at centos.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] [WTA] Automatically blocking on failed login _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
