similar to: Odd issue with fail2ban

I recall others on this list are using fail2ban to block brute force login attempts. Packages are from the EPEL repo, so I'm just sharing some knowledge here. For about two months now I've had a CentOS 6.3 box (web host) in production that occasionally is ftp brute forced. Oddly enough fail2ban wasn't nabbing the perpetrators. I found that the iptables chain for VSFTP isn't

I'm trying to setup and test fail2ban with dovecot I've installed fail2ban, I've copied config from https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/Fail2Ban, and, trying to test it, attempted multiple mail access with wrong password, but, get this: # fail2ban-client status dovecot-pop3imap Status for the jail: dovecot-pop3imap |- Filter | |- Currently failed: 0 | |- Total failed: 0 | `- File

I'm trying to set up fail2ban with dovecot, I have it working on 'old' server Centos 6, but, not getting anywhere with 'new' server on Centos 7 using standard filters I've copied same 'filter' to new server, still get nothing any idea how to figure this out ? on old server, it logs to syslog/messages CentOS release 6.10 (Final) dovecot 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171) old #

I got the fail2ban from epel. There were a number of issues relating to using a log file... logwatch was looking for both fail2ban and fail2ban.log logrotate file fail2ban added looked for fail2ban.log and then reset itself to syslog fail2ban itself went to syslog, over riding its fail2ban.log. took a while, but I use /var/log/fail2ban now, that finally worked through logrotates and logwatch.

I'm using fail2ban with CentOS 6.6. Something is causing fail2ban's alerts sent to root's mail to be rejected. Here's a clip from one of the error messages: Message 48: From MAILER-DAEMON at lion.protogeek.org Sun Dec 21 03:09:20 2014 Return-Path: <MAILER-DAEMON at lion.protogeek.org> Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 03:09:19 -0600 From: Mail

Is anyone using asterisk with fail2ban? I have it working except it takes way more break-in attempts than what is set in "maxretry" in jail.conf For example, I get an email saying: "The IP 199.204.45.19 has just been banned by Fail2Ban after 181 attempts against ASTERISK." when "maxretry = 5" in jail.conf Perhaps someone else is experiencing this or has resolved it,

Hello list I'm trying to setup fail2ban specially sasl action but I'm facing problems. I have centos-release-5-9.el5.centos.1 and fail2ban-0.8.7.1-1.el5.rf installed with selinux disabled The errors I get are: INFO Creating new jail 'sasl-iptables' fail2ban.comm : WARNING Invalid command: ['add', 'sasl-iptables', 'polling'] I tried gemin against

Tonight I added fail2ban to one of my webservers to test it out. Here is my step by step, as best as I could figure it out...documentation a bit sketchy. feel free to add anything to it or suggest changes. I tried to set it up to deal with ssh, http authentication, dovecot, ftp, and postfix I could find no working example for centos 6 and there is no fail2ban book available to peruse. So,

Hi, I realise that one can simply start fail2ban and then it will insert its own ruleset before shorewall''s ruleset. Are there subscribers to this list having alternative (and probably better) ways to use both fail2ban and shorewall?

Mine occurred in Feb when my versions of firewalld etc were updated to the versions you show. Thus far I have not had the opportunity to sort the problem.

Been working on my anti-spam centos mailserver for a while now and thought I would share fail2ban's help. I installed fail2ban a few weeks back. It was tough to get it working properly but pretty much working now. Although it works fine for brute force, I thought I would run it pretty tough against spammers. I started with a regular mail server, my old one, that is horrendously pounded

I created a filter and verified it with fail2ban-regex against actual lines in my log and it works. During restarts of fail2ban, only some previous ip's get banned immediately whereas some need a reoccurrence despite the jail's config specification of maxretry and findtime suggesting the entries mandate blocking. I'd assume the behavior after a restart is noe way if it weren't for

If this is a small site, I recommend you download the free version of SecAst (www.telium.ca <http://www.telium.ca> ) and replace fail2ban. SecAst does NOT use the log file, or regexes, to match etc.instead it talks to Asterisk through the AMI to extract security information. Messing with regexes is a losing battle, and the lag in reading logs can allow an attacker 100+ registration
