  • Fail2ban "…FAILURE IS DELAY, NOT DEFEAT…" – DENIS WAITLEY Agenda
    Fail2Ban "…FAILURE IS DELAY, NOT DEFEAT…" – DENIS WAITLEY Agenda What is fail2ban? My story And then there was DoS A look at fail2ban Summary Intrusion Detection vs Prevention What is fail2ban? Fail2Ban is an intrusion prevention software framework that protects computer servers from brute-force attacks. Fail2Ban scans log files and bans IP addresses of hosts that have too many failures within a specified time window. Think of it as a dynamic firewall. It detects incoming connection failures, and dynamically adds a firewall rule to block that host after too many failures. My Story On my Linux servers, I do not allow username/password authentication Users must use SSH with PKI But I still didn't like the barrage of remote login attempts My fear was an unknown zero-day, race condition, buffer overflow or other vulnerability was still a threat So I looked for intrusion detection and prevention software I found, installed, learned and started using fail2ban to block unwanted ssh connection attempts I was right. We fell victim to a previously unknown Denial of Service vulnerability Under Attack In May of 2016, we suffered a SLOW denial of service attack Something was causing our web site to hang every 5-15 minutes Restarting Apache would fix the problem, but the site would just hang again in 5-15 minutes We did not have an unusually high volume of HTTP GET/POSTs We had what seemed like an unusually high amount of Baidu spider traffic Baidu Spider Baidu ignores your robot.txt file, and they do whatever the h*ll they want Baidu

  • Fail2ban Jail Base Specification File # # HOW to ACTIVATE JAILS: # # YOU SHOULD NOT MODIFY THIS FILE
    # Fail2Ban jail base specification file # # HOW TO ACTIVATE JAILS: # # YOU SHOULD NOT MODIFY THIS FILE. # # It will probably be overwitten or improved in a distribution update. # # Provide customizations in a jail.local file or a jail.d/customisation.local. # For example to change the default bantime for all jails and to enable the # ssh-iptables jail the following (uncommented) would appear in the .local file. # See man 5 jail.conf for details. # # [DEFAULT] # bantime = 3600 # # [ssh-iptables] # enabled = true # Comments: use '#' for comment lines and ';' (following a space) for inline com ments # The DEFAULT allows a global definition of the options. They can be overridden # in each jail afterwards. [DEFAULT] # "ignoreip" can be an IP address, a CIDR mask or a DNS host. Fail2ban will not # ban a host which matches an address in this list. Several addresses can be # defined using space separator. ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8 # External command that will take an tagged arguments to ignore, e.g. <ip>, # and return true if the IP is to be ignored. False otherwise. # # ignorecommand = /path/to/command <ip> ignorecommand = # "bantime" is the number of seconds that a host is banned. bantime = 1200 # A host is banned if it has generated "maxretry" during the last "findtime" # seconds. findtime = 1200 # "maxretry" is the number of failures before a host get banned. maxretry = 10 # "backend" specifies the backend used to get files modification. # Available options are "pyinotify", "gamin", "polling" and "auto". # This option can be overridden in each jail as well. # # pyinotify: requires pyinotify (a file alteration monitor) to be installed.

  • Detecting Distributed Brute Force Attack on a Single Target
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 6, Issue 3, March-2015 738 ISSN 2229-5518 DBFST: Detecting Distributed Brute Force Attack on a Single Target AL-Zwuiany Muhanad M. K., Prof. Huang Dongjun Abstract— While reading this paper, a lot of servers may be coming under attack by hackers at different sites of the Internet. The actions of these hackers have different motivations and purposes and brute force attack is one of common ways of attack deployed by hackers. Secure Shell (SSH) is one of the widespread attacked servers. SSH tunnels are commonly used to provide two types of privacy protection. First one is protecting the privacy of the data being exchanged between two peers, such as passwords and so on. The second one is protect the privacy of the behavior of end-users, by preventing an unauthorized observer from detecting which application protocol is being transported by the SSH tunnel. Wherefore it has become the default remote access method for those using UNIX systems. It is very common for public Internet servers to experience attacks that attempt use brute force to obtain usernames and passwords combinations via SSH. In this paper we shall examine these attacks depending on SSH log file to find unsuccessful logins and then establish if these unsuccessful authorized IP’s belong to attackers or to trusted users. Then develop a strategy to determine who should transact with the IP addresses based on the IP kind, and prevent the attackers IP's from attempting to login to the system. Index Terms— Brute force, SSH, Iptables, Fail2ban, Denyhosts and white list.

  • Fail2ban Pi – Student Worksheet
    Fail2Ban Pi – Student Worksheet Learning Outcomes • Learn the basics of IoT; • Understand the concepts of Fail2Ban; • Learn how Fail2Ban can be used. Background Raspbian is a Debian-based computer operating system for the Raspberry Pi computer. There are several versions of Raspbian including: Raspbian Stretch and Raspbian Jessie. Raspbian was created by Mike Thompson and Peter Green as an independent project, with an initial build completed in June 2012. Since 2015, Raspbian has been officially provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation as its primary operating system for the family of Raspberry Pi single-board computers and is highly optimized for the Raspberry Pi line's low-performance ARM CPUs. The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT devices could be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and is able to transfer data over a network. Increasingly, organisations in a variety of industries are using IoT to operate more efficiently, better understand customers to deliver enhanced customer service, improve decision-making and increase the value of the business. Fail2Ban is a ‘daemon’ (background process) that scans defined log files and bans IP Addresses that show the malicious signs.
