Install Fail2ban on Ubuntu 16<\/h3>\n

Date Posted: 14-06-2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fail2ban\u00a0is a service used to ban IP address which makes unsuccessful attempts. In our previous post, we explained on how to install fail2ban on centos 7 server. In this post, we will explain on how to install fail2ban on ubuntu host. Incase if the operating system is centos then please follow the below post to install fail2ban.<\/p>\n

Install fail2ban on Centos<\/a><\/p>\n

Implementation:<\/h4>\n

Install fail2ban using apt-get utility<\/p>\n

apt-get install fail2ban<\/code><\/p>\n

Press\u00a0y\u00a0<\/strong>to continue.<\/p>\n

Enable the service on reboot safe.<\/p>\n

systemctl enable fail2ban<\/code><\/p>\n

Start the fail2ban service.<\/p>\n

systemctl start fail2ban<\/code><\/p>\n

Additional Information:<\/h4>\n

We will be adding additional steps on how to ban IP address which makes unsuccessful imap\/pop attempts on mail server. Assume that log location is\u00a0\/var\/log\/mail.log.<\/em><\/p>\n

Copy\u00a0jail.conf to\u00a0jail.local<\/p>\n

cp \/etc\/fail2ban\/jail.conf \/etc\/fail2ban\/jail.local<\/code><\/p>\n

Open the file\u00a0\/etc\/fail2ban\/jail.local\u00a0<\/em> and append the following content.<\/p>\n

[dovecot-pop3imap]\r\nenabled = true\r\nfilter = dovecot-pop3imap\r\nport = pop3,pop3s,imap,imaps\r\nlogpath = \/var\/log\/mail.log\r\nmaxretry = 20\r\nfindtime = 1200\r\nbantime = 3600<\/pre>\n
where,<\/p>\n
logpath represents maillog which fail2ban needs to check.<\/p>\n
bantime – time for the ipaddress to be blocked in the firewall.<\/p>\n
Create a file\u00a0\/etc\/fail2ban\/filter.d\/dovecot-pop3imap.conf\u00a0<\/em>and add the following content.<\/p>\n
[Definition]\r\nfailregex = (?: pop3-login|imap-login): .*(?:Authentication failure|Aborted login \\(auth failed|Aborted login \\(tried to use disabled|Disconnected \\(auth failed|Aborted login \\(\\d+ authentication attempts).*rip=(?P<host>\\S*),.*\r\nignoreregex =<\/pre>\n
Restart the fail2ban service.<\/p>\n
systemctl restart fail2ban<\/code><\/p>\n
To check the fail2ban client status, use the below command.<\/p>\n
fail2ban-client status<\/code><\/p>\n
Output of the command will look like as follows<\/p>\n
Status
\n|- Number of jail: 2
\n`- Jail list: dovecot-pop3imap, sshd<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The log location for fail2ban service is\u00a0\/var\/log\/fail2ban.log.<\/em><\/p>\n
