Installs and configures fail2ban
cookbook 'fail2ban', '= 2.1.0', :supermarket
knife supermarket install fail2ban
knife supermarket download fail2ban
Description
Installs and configures fail2ban
, a utility that watches logs for failed login attempts
and blocks repeat offenders with firewall rules. On Redhat systems this cookbook will
enable the EPEL repository in order to retrieve the fail2ban package.
Requirements
Chef version 0.10.10+ and Ohai 0.6.12+ are required.
Platform
- Debian, Ubuntu
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (CentOS/Amazon/Scientific/Oracle)
- Fedora
Cookbooks
- yum
Recipes
default
Installs the fail2ban package, manages 2 templates: /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf
and /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf
, and manages the fail2ban service.
Usage
Typically, include recipe[fail2ban]
in a base role applied to all nodes.
Attributes
This cookbook makes use of a hash to compile the jail.local-file:
default['fail2ban']['services'] = {
'ssh' => {
"enabled" => "true",
"port" => "ssh",
"filter" => "sshd",
"logpath" => node['fail2ban']['auth_log'],
"maxretry" => "6"
},
'smtp' => {
"enabled" => "true",
"port" => "smpt",
"filter" => "smtp",
"logpath" => node['fail2ban']['auth_log'],
"maxretry" => "6"
}
}
The following attributes can be used per service:
- enabled
- port
- filter
- logpath
- maxretry
- protocol
- banaction
Particular those related to rsyslog
If you are using rsyslog parameter "$RepeatedMsgReduction on" in rsyslog.conf file
then you can get "Last message repeated N times" in system log file (for example auth.log).
And it will affect the work of fail2ban, so that fail2ban will not work because the internal counter maxretry will not extend their
Then you can change parameter "$RepeatedMsgReduction off" in rsyslog.conf file for maximum accuracy of maximum failed login attempts
This rsyslog parameter is default ON for ubuntu 12.04 LTS for example.
