Fail2ban

Post by wilbourne »

I would like to know if someone can help me to implemented fail2ban for postfix or mailscanner? So with EFA it is possible to activate fail2ban?

i use it in mine. historically i used to use fail2ban with all kinds of postfix regex's i wrote, but as time has passed and moved from system to system, many of them needed rewites or were becoming irrelevant. now i just use the pre-written postfix-sasl jail. here is a script i use to prep an EFA install with fail2ban's postfix-sasl jail:


#!/bin/bash
yum install -y fail2ban
chkconfig fail2ban on

touch /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/local.conf
cat << EOF > /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/local.conf
[DEFAULT]

ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8
bantime = 608400
findtime = 30
maxretry = 1
backend = auto
usedns = warn


[postfix-sasl]
enabled = true
filter = postfix-sasl
action = iptables[name=POSTFIX-SASL, port=smtp, protocol=tcp]
logpath = /var/log/maillog
EOF

service iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
/etc/init.d/fail2ban start

to enable mail report you can configure on /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf

destemail = your email destination

sender = your sender address

mta = sendmail

by default the log for postfix is /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages

Hi guys,
i know this a old post.
i just want to share i just configured this on the latest version of the EFA 4/16/2018 ) EFA-3.0.2.6. of today and it does works.
i want to configure the log /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf

Can we config the fail2ban to block the https too when they try to access the EFA over the https ?

Sure, why not?

Or are you looking for what rule to implement to make this happen?

Hi Paul,
Our EFA has a https over the internet so the users on the go can release their emails.
so the https://efa.domain.com is open on the internet i want to include the fail2ban to block the brute force ip over the internet.
is this possible to configure with fail2ban ?

Sure.

Assuming that there is a recognizable pattern in some log files, you can configure Fail2Ban to watch for it and block appropriately.

The first question to ask yourself, is how do you know you are being brute forced? (i.e. does that show up in the log files in a recognizable pattern). Once you know, configuring fail2ban is relatively straight forward.

The first question is: can you see from your apache access logs, or error log or any log something that you could define as a brute force attack?

If yes, then we can make a fail2ban rule to block the attempts. If not, then fail2ban won't help.

If you can show me some examples errors, I can help you create the rule.

Hi Paul,
i've been looking arround on the webmin but can't seem to find a log for the attemp of loging to the http/s.
do you maybe happens to know where i can find this ? like of the last 24 hr ?
we are using now a IDS in front of the EFA in order to get some countries blocked.

I do everything from the command line.

The apache logs are in /var/log/httpd and are called ssl_access_log and ssl_error_log

You can access this log file from webmin via Others, File Manager, and then browse your way down to /var/log/httpd/

Look at the older log files and see if you can find an attack pattern there.

Hi Paul,

Thank you

hi jamerson,

That's the problem. I don't know what it shows until I see it. If I knew what you considered an attack from the log files, then we could come up with a fail2ban rule to help protect you.

Basically, you would need to browse back in time to when your last attack was happening, then look for the log file entries around that time to see if you can discern a pattern.

Can you describe or say anything about the attacks you were receiving?

So if it was smtp connections, you’d find the patterns in /var/log/maillog.

you can activate pattern for http code response like 403 : access denied or 404 : page not found.
Or for example if a ip address request the web page a big number of time over a short time.
For example if you have the same ip address with "get" on 500 line request the same page during 1minutes it seems to be an abnormal use of resources and this can overload the server.

You can also activate on failed authentication

with this :


/etc/fail2ban/jail.local

[apache]

enabled = true
port = http,https
filter = apache-auth
logpath = /var/log/apache*/*error.log
maxretry = 6


all this config will use additional resources on the server

Thank you for your answer.
is there is a way to test this and know it does the job ?

Re: Fail2ban

Post by wilbourne »

you can test the 404 apache for example.

copy the below line into the /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf

Code: Select all

[apache-404]
 enabled = true
 port = http
 filter = apache-404
 logpath = /var/log/apache*/error*.log
 maxretry = 6
after create file apache-404.conf into /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ and copy below line :

Code: Select all

#
 [Definition]
 # Option:  failregex
 # Notes.:  regex to match the 404 failure messages in the logfile. The
 #          host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "" can
 #          be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for
 #          (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P[\w\-.^_]+)
 # Values:  TEXT
 #
failregex = [[]client <HOST>[]] File does not exist: .*
 # Option:  ignoreregex
 # Notes.:  regex to ignore. If this regex matches, the line is ignored.
 # Values:  TEXT
 #
 ignoreregex =

Restart fail2ban

Code: Select all

service fail2ban restart
After you can test your rule with this command to make sur the pattern match :

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/fail2ban-regex /var/log/apache2/error*.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-404.conf

to have the status of your rule:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/fail2ban-client status apache-404
for all rule :

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/fail2ban-client status
i'm not sur but with the version 3.0.2.6 of EFA the mod-security is activate and I think is not necessary use the jail of fail2ban.
Maybe i'm wrong

I had Fail2Ban implemented in my v3 configuration. Is it still useful in v4? I noticed from watching my maillogs for a bit that I was getting a lot of repeat/denied traffic from spammers. It's been a long time since I setup my v3 server, but my recollection was that it scanned logs and implemented blocking pre-SMTP which would further reduce the impact of bad actors on your systems/logs/etc.

I noticed that it was on the pending features list for v4. Is that a confirmation that it is still useful? Would it be problematic for me to manually implement in my v4?
